Boy, 14, accused of attacking pregnant woman and sexual assault

A 14-year-old boy sexually assaulted two women and in another incident held a knife to a pregnant woman’s stomach, it was alleged at the Dublin Children’s Court today.

The boy, who is residing in a care unit, has been charged with two sexual assaults on the same date in January last, in Dublin. He also faces four other charges, two for production of a knife as weapon at his care home in November last year, when he was aged 13, and two more for attacking two women who worked in the unit.
