Foiled abductor felt ‘lousy, ashamed’
At Portlaoise Circuit Court, Dermot Murphy, Atlantic Coast Apartments, Tramore, Waterford, admitted attempting to abduct a 20-year-old woman in Laois in 2007, intending to take her to a quiet place to sexually assault her.
Before Judge Tony Hunt, evidence was given of how the woman, who is not of Irish origin, was walking on a rural road in October 2007, when Mr Murphy parked his van ahead of her.
