Barman will have sex assault case struck out if he pays victim €1.5k

An off-duty barman who sexually assaulted a 33-year-old woman while she was having a drink with her mother and her family will receive a strike-out if he pays €1,500 compensation to his victim.

Judge Bridget Reilly heard that the man had been out at the Leopardstown Races before the incident and had been drinking since noon that day.

Judge Reilly reminded the members of the press present in Tallaght Court that there were reporting restrictions in the case.
