司法部长海伦·麦肯蒂赞扬了汉德女士的勇敢,称她展示了“隧道尽头的光明”。
“我只是想赞扬尼基塔的勇敢、决心和领导力,我毫不怀疑,这对她和她的家人来说都是非常非常困难的时期,”麦肯蒂说。
她补充说:“因为有像尼基塔这样优秀的人,我希望这表明隧道尽头有光明,人们可以得到支持,在一天结束的时候会有正义。”
汉德女士还起诉了另一名男子,35岁的詹姆斯·劳伦斯,他住在都柏林德林纳的拉夫斯路。
她声称,他未经她同意在灯塔酒店与她发生性关系,侵犯了她。
陪审团发现他没有袭击她。
汉德上周五在法庭外发表声明称,她希望自己的案件能提醒性侵受害者继续“争取正义”。
她将过去的六年描述为“一场噩梦”,她说:“我想让(我的女儿)弗雷娅和其他每一个女孩和男孩知道,如果你发生了什么事,你可以为自己挺身而出,不管那个人是谁,正义将得到伸张。”
在案件中,汉德女士说,她对公诉署署长在她向爱尔兰警方投诉后决定不起诉她感到“失望和不安”。
In a letter to her in August 2020, the DPP said there was "insufficient evidence" and there was not a reasonable prospect of conviction.
Ms Hand asked the DPP to review the decision, saying she felt she was being treated differently because one of the suspects was famous.

Asked about the DPP's decision not to prosecute, Ms McEntee said: "We have a very independent system in this country, and I think that's right.
"Our DPP, she's independent in the decisions that are taken, and for good reasons that there should never be any political interference in that process.
"There is always an option for an individual to ask for reasons to be outlined as to why the DPP made a particular decision, and that is open to any individual or any case, but I have, since becoming minister, given priority to and enabled a new office within the DPP to open specifically focused on sexual offences, so that this issue can be given the focus and the priority that it needs."
