Report on teen linked to prostitution 'like story book' says judge

A teenage boy, who is believed to have been linked to prostitution, had an income of €300 a week, which is under garda investigation, a court heard yesterday.

The 15-year-old is being held in custody amid fears for his safety. His case first came before the Children’s Court after he had attacked a garda, who had stopped him from meeting a prostitute.
