Fake online profile used to convince girl, 15, to have sex
Conor O’Keefe, aged 26, set up a profile as a 13-year-old girl called ‘Julie’ on Tagged.com and started chatting with the 15-year-old victim. He later claimed he was Julie’s older brother ‘Adam’ and persuaded the girl to get a taxi to his house in the early hours of the morning where they had sex.
O’Keefe, of Oakdale Close, Ballycullen, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to sex with a child in June 2011 and not guilty to sexual exploitation. He was found guilty by a jury following a three-day trial.
