Woman who answered online job advert sexually assaulted by bogus businessman

Gardaí are tracking down a bogus businessman who sexually assaulted a mother after she applied online for a job in a non-existant cleaning company.

The man, described as young and well-dressed, travelled to the woman’s home in Tallaght, west Dublin, under the pretence of giving her an interview.

Garda sources said the interview began formally, but that the woman became concerned at some of the replies he gave to questions she asked about the position and the company.
