Guilty plea for online torment

A guilty plea was entered yesterday by a young man accused of harassment of a man and two women via social media.

Stephen Downey, aged 24, Lissadell, Maryborough Hill, Douglas, Cork, will be sentenced at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on October 27.

The case was adjourned to yesterday at Cork District Court for service of a book of evidence. However, Joseph Cuddigan, defence solicitor, said the accused wanted to plead guilty to all three charges against him.
