Despite denying the charges, O’Hara was brought to trial at Winchester Crown Court. After a thorough examination of the evidence, the court found him guilty of the charges. On Friday, November 22, O’Hara was sentenced to two years in prison for his violent actions and assault on the police officer, marking a significant legal outcome for the case and a reminder of the consequences of domestic violence and assault on emergency personnel.
