An Inishowen woman harassed a soldier and blamed him for causing her to lose their baby after their relationship ended, a court has been told.
Janice O’Leary (45) was sentenced to four months in prison, which Judge Dermot Dempsey suspended.
He also ordered her to pay €1,500 in compensation for the “trauma” she caused to Private Christopher Smith, who has now moved to Australia.
