Judge forced to revoke jail term after sentencing teenager for wrong crime Donohoe had earlier pleaded guilty to having sex with the girl in December 2011. But when passing sentence Recorder Lane revealed his misunderstanding when he used the word rape and said "You forced yourself on her knowing she did not consent." The Recorder said that had not been made clear to him throughout the case. "I sentenced you a few moments ago on a wholly erroneous basis of fact and law, for which I have to accept responsibility," he said. He said the charge sheet he had been given had only a charge of rape on it and no alternative. He then adjourned to reconsider sentence and returned to court to give Donohoe the news that he was not going to a young offenders institution after all. Donohoe was instead given a three-year supervision order and told he must attend 70 sessions on a sex offender programme.
