A surburban Buffalo man dressed as a leprechaun for a radio station was sentenced to 6 months in jail for the rape of an 18 year old woman on Buffalo's Chippewa Strip. State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski also sentenced Bill Comerford of West Seneca, NY, now 24, to sex offender registration and a $1370 fine.
Michalski said Comerford had brought "unspeakable horror and tragedy" to his victim and "brought shame and disgrace" onto his own politically-connected family.
Last Nov. 14, a jury found Comerford guilty of third-degree rape for the sex attack in a back room of Club W at 199 Delaware Ave. about 8 p.m. He has remained free on bail since the trial.
The drunken Comerford was dressed in a leprechaun outfit and was promoting events for a Buffalo radio company which fired him after his arrest.
Edward C. Cosgrove, Comerford's defense attorney, tride to get Judge Michalski to stay the sentence, which he refused to do. Comerford's sentence will begin Friday unless Cosgrove sucessfully convinces a higher court to stay his client's sentence.
