Ciara Bohan became visibly upset in the witness box as she said that she was left 'upset and vulnerable' over anonymous Facebook Messenger messages she received about her husband
A primary school teacher and wife of a 'good Guard' has told a jury how she was left 'nervous and scared' over "nasty" comments made about her husband from an anonymous Facebook account.
Ms Bohan was seven months pregnant at the time and also had a toddler at home when she received messages from a Facebook profile with the name Tommy Teirnan, spelt wrong. Ms Bohan said: "He is a good Guard and well respected among his peers. Then to receive the nasty messages and nasty sentiments expressed by someone - it is very hurtful."
Garda King told the jury: "I was quite distressed. Pictures of me in my private life. My privacy was being invaded along with the allegations." Ms Comerford said: "During the course of the interaction, Nathan Downes took a video of part of the incident."
