A man who admitted sexually assaulting a teenage girl and a woman in a bar has walked free from court after a judge accepted that medication had affected his behaviour.
Care-assistant Matthew McDonald (39) of Bluestack Drive, Donegal town, approached the 17-year-old girl and the 24-year-old woman in The Reveller Bar in the town on July 27, 2017 and offered to buy them drinks.
He bought three Jaeggerbombers but as he was chatting to the them he assaulted them putting his hand up one of their skirts, touching another’s breasts and bottom.
The victims were shocked and pleaded with a barmaid to ask McDonald, now aged 39, to leave.
