The 40-year-old was ordered to pay €9,000 (£7,700) for physical damage to the victim and offered to pay compensation of €150,000, which the court considered an attenuating circumstance when passing sentence. He will be under legal supervision for a further five years as well as having a restraining order banning him from contact with the victim for nine years and six months.

What a fall from grace. Four and a half years is a joke sentence though!

To be frank he deserves at least 10 years for this the court were very keen and friendly with this crook

Deserved more sentence but I hear that he paid compensation to reduce the sentence from 9 to 4.5 years
