8 Years for Amateur Boxing Coach Who Abused Teens
Leading amateur boxing coach Frank Mulligan has been sentenced to eight years in prison for child abuse.
Mulligan from Smithboro, Co Monaghan had pleaded guilty to two counts of raping a 14-year-old boy in 1998.
Before sentencing Mr Justice Paul Carney said he believed, that given the nature of the offences and the manner in which they were carried out, that Mulligan would re-offend again if given the chance.
However, he said if he took meaningful action to prevent that from happening his decision would be set aside by the Court of Criminal Appeal.
He sentenced Mulligan to eight years imprisonment with the last two years suspended.
