Man charged with sex exploitation

A 56-year-old man was arrested yesterday and charged with the sexual exploitation of a teenage boy at a location in Co Cork.

Dahesh Patel of Dillon’s Court, Dillon’s Cross, Cork, appeared at Cork District Court on a charge of sexual exploitation of a minor on June 21, 2015.

Detective Garda Fergal Long objected to bail because of the seriousness of the alleged offence and because he said Mr Patel — a UK national — was a flight risk.
