Overview
- Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, which sentenced Aaron Brady on Friday, suspended a two-year prison term under strict conditions.
- Those conditions include residential alcohol treatment, three years of probation supervision, and payment of €3,130 on top of €5,000 already given to the victim.
- The assault happened about 40 minutes before landing in Dublin in the crew area, and gardaí were alerted mid-flight before arresting Brady on arrival when he was too intoxicated to be interviewed.
- Brady pleaded guilty, apologized in court, and said he had no memory after drinking heavily at the airport and on board, with the judge noting an extreme level of alcohol use.
- The victim reported more than €3,000 in lost income, anxiety, nightmares, and leaving her job, and the court’s order pairs compensation with supervision to support accountability and recovery.
