Two years in prison for sex assault on six-year-old girl

A two-year jail term was imposed yesterday on a man who carried out a sexual assault on a six-year-old girl who later told gardaí there was a brown mole on the assailant’s penis.

Photographic evidence on this aspect of the disputed case was presented to the jury during the trial.

Patrick Martin, of Ballinure Place, Mahon, Cork, shook his head throughout the evidence given in yesterday’s sentencing hearing at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
