Reports say, Tom Hughes, the sheriff of the court, told Kevin that “the court must show that women can be protected from domestic sexual offenses. The offense you have been convicted of caused distress and consequences to the young woman involved in this case.”
“She was unwell and thought her drink had been spiked elsewhere that night,” he went on. “The jury accepted that you committed these heinous crimes and the only appropriate sentence is imprisonment.”
