Teen girl put on all-male ward alleges sex assault

Questions are being asked as to why a teenage girl was placed in an all-male ward at a Cork hospital where she was allegedly sexually assaulted by an older man.

Gardaí will have to rely on witnesses if they are to prosecute the culprit, because there’s no CCTV in the ward where it allegedly happened at Cork University Hospital.

The girl had been admitted to the hospital after sustaining injuries in an accident.
