A 55-year-old publican who sexually assaulted a 20-year-old employee in his office and then asked: “How was that for you?”, later pretended that she had made an advance to him but that he spurned her approach.

The publican later admitted this was not the case and he confessed to the sexual assault. He faced sentencing for the crime at Cork District Court yesterday.
