Search continues for missing Jastine. THE Probation Service made glaring errors in a court report for a serial sex beast who has been caged for 18 years.
The pervert carried out three violent attacks on women between 2011 and 2016.
Judge Pauline Codd was deciding on the sentence for the perv last Monday when she questioned a statement from the service which included nonexistent traffic offences and the wrong name.
She adjourned sentencing until Thursday at the Circuit Criminal Court and asked for a someone from the Probation Service to attend.
The officer who had written the report attended with a new report and described the errors in the previous one as “an oversight” and she had been working on a number of reports at the same time and may have entered the wrong name by mistake.
The judge questioned if she could stand over the medium-risk assessment of re-offending about a man who had attacked three women in separate attacks over a number of years, had refused to engage with the probation officer, taken no responsibility for his actions and shown no remorse.
Director of the Probation Service Vivian Geiran said he stood over the revised report which placed the offender at a medium risk of re-offending.
He told RTE’S This Week while he accepted there were factual errors in the original report, these had been corrected quickly.
The service has started a review of the case.
