Man ‘didn’t show characteristics of a sexual predator’

Man, now 21, had sex with then 14-year-old girl at a sports field between January-March 2014, court told

A 21-year-old man who had a sexual relationship with a schoolgirl aged 14 when he was 19 did not exhibit any of the characteristics of a sexual predator, a barrister told the Circuit Court in Tralee yesterday.

The man, who cannot be named at this stage, was also a low risk of re-offending, Anthony Sammon, defending, said.
