Mum of ex-Trinity student who sexually assaulted nine women in one month in Dublin city tells of 'nightmare'
A man who sexually assaulted nine different women in Dublin city during the month of August 2021 has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison, with the final 12 months suspended.The sentence was backdated to August 2021, meaning that Kletzander faces a maximum of 18 months’ imprisonment.
The judge noted that Kletzander suffered from considerable mental health difficulties and that the sentence had to be balanced with his need for rehabilitation and help. Judge Crowe said Kletzander was fortunate to have loving parents who have stood by him. Detective Garda Mark Costello told Grainne O'Neill BL, prosecuting, that the first victim was on Grafton Street on August 5, 2021, at appropriately 8.40 am when she saw an odd man walking towards her. She noticed him and feared he wanted to steal her handbag. Instead, he put his arm under her skirt and grabbed her crotch area.
An investigating garda said Kletzander then walked several steps in front of this woman before turning back towards her. She used a buggy as a shield as she was concerned he was going to attack her again. The woman screamed and Kletzander walked away. She was left in pain and shock following the incident.
A compilation of CCTV was played to the court. One victim impact statement was handed in but not read aloud. The court heard the psychiatric report states that Kletzander was feeling rejected by women and receiving messages in his mind, but agreed his behaviour was not appropriate or acceptable.
