GARDA TREVOR BOLGER GETS SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR 2012 DOMESTIC ASSAULT
A Garda investigation was launched into the source of the first media reports about Garda Trevor Bolger being charged over domestic violence directed at his wife, Margaret Loftus, then also a serving member of the force.
Last week, the 48-year-old father received a three-month sentence, fully suspended, after pleading guilty to assaulting her in her childhood family home in Co Mayo in 2012.
Ms Loftus has praised the Garda members who investigated her case but believes others in the force sought to assist and protect her ex-husband.
Bolger, previously attached to Ballymun Garda station, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assaulting Ms Loftus on October 25, 2012.
The court sentenced him to three months, suspended in full, with strict conditions.
The maximum penalty for this assault is six months’ imprisonment or a fine.
