Cameras filmed brothel activities, claims prosecution
That was one of the claims made by the prosecution in opening the case against Caroline O’Leary, aged 39, of Scartbarry, Watergrasshill, Co Cork, who pleaded not guilty to a total of 69 counts related to the alleged organisation of prostitution and the keeping of brothels at 26 John Street and 18 Grafton Street, Cork, on dates between January 2006 and May 2007.
Prosecution senior counsel Marjorie Farrelly also told the 12 men of the jury at Cork Circuit Criminal Court that O’Leary’s partner, Tony Linnane, also of Scartbarry, had previously pleaded guilty to the organisation of prostitution and the keeping of brothels at John Street and Grafton Street, Cork.
