A former accountant has been jailed for a “disgusting” sexual assault on a vulnerable teenage girl he approached while she was out celebrating her Leaving Certificate results.
Nabil Habbar, 38, an Algerian national with an address at River Village, Athlone, Co Westmeath, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the teen in Athlone on a date in August 2021.
He appeared at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court on Tuesday.
Judge Keenan Johnson handed down a sentence of three years and six months, with the final nine months suspended for four years, during which Habbar will remain under probation supervision.
The married man had worked as an accountant in Algeria but, after coming to Ireland several years ago, worked in the hospitality industry.
The sentencing hearing was told that the victim had been celebrating her results and was walking home when the accused approached her.
