17-year-old charged with sexual assault of Chinese student

A 17-year-old boy was brought before the Dublin Children’s Court today charged with sexually assaulting a young Chinese student who was attacked as she made her way home from work.

The court heard that the then 16-year-old boy, who is in care and now attending a therapeutic clinic in England, allegedly demanded sex and repeatedly banged her head off the ground after he pulled off her trousers and underwear.
