A woman placed on the sex offenders register for five years has been handed a three-year supervision and treatment order by a judge at Newry Crown Court. The court heard she was found to have aided and abetted her husband’s offending following a trial of the facts earlier this year. The husband was convicted at the same court in June of 18 sex offences, including one count of rape, involving abuse of two women when they were children. He was sentenced to 15 years and will serve half of that in jail. Today’s court appearance was via videolink at the end of proceedings, so the judge could explain the sex offenders’ register order and supervision and treatment order. The woman, from Dublinhill Road in Dromore, Co Down, faced a trial of the facts after she was found unfit to participate in a conventional trial on mental health grounds. The jury found she had done the acts in relation to a number of charges of aiding and abetting.
