The former partner of disgraced ex-hurler, DJ Carey, has spoken out after the legendary Kilkenny player pleaded guilty to 10 charges of defrauding individuals by falsely claiming he had cancer in order to obtain money.
Sarah Newman left Carey in 2012 after finding out about his lies, and claims that she contacted Blackrock Garda station to complain about her ex-partner stealing from her, but that this was never followed up by the police.
In a revealing interview with the Irish Independent, she states her belief that Carey's subsequent fraudulent behaviour and lies could have stopped earlier.
She said: “That trauma could have been stopped. These victims should not have become his prey if the gardaí had taken proper notice of me when I made formal complaints back in 2012 about DJ’s conduct, lies and deception.
“They [my complaints] went untreated and there has been a black cloud over my judgment and reputation for many years, which I feel has now been lifted.
“I don’t believe I was heard, and therein lies the problem. So I don’t feel any form of satisfaction or elation this weekend. I just feel desperately, desperately sad for the victims of his crimes.
“There are people who will have met me and taken statements from me over that period of time. And it is they who have to look at themselves. They know the truth and they had the facts and they did nothing about it.
“Sometimes the legal system fails people. Whether it’s domestic violence or a heinous criminal act, sometimes the judicial system gets it wrong. And that starts at grassroots with the gardaí when people make complaints. I think all over the world there are miscarriages of justice, there are people that get away with absolutely dreadful things — and I guess that’s just the way things are.”
