Boy, 17, had sex with girl, 13, at sleepover
Daniel Buckley of Ellenville, Kilbrennan, Crookstown, Co Cork, now aged 20, was given a two-year jail sentence at Cork Circuit Criminal Court yesterday with the final 18 months suspended. He pleaded guilty to a charge of defilement of a child under the age of 15 by having sexual intercourse with her in December 2011.
Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said: “The age difference in years is not great but you were in fact assaulting a girl who was no more than a child. It was a very complete assault. It had a very detrimental effect on her. She does not want to be defined by the assault. It is undoubtedly an appalling event in her life.”
