Woman alleges sex assault in hotel room

A young woman claimed she was sexually assaulted in a hotel room in Cork after meeting a man at a night spot in the city.

Inspector Vincent O’Sullivan said yesterday the woman met the man at the Crane Lane licensed premises and agreed to his invitation to go to the hotel for a party.

However, the inspector said when she got to the hotel room, there was nobody there except herself and the man she had met at the licenced premises.
