Sentencing delayed for man who harassed Cork gym staff member

The court heard a young woman received a lot of texts from 22-year-old Luka Tsokialauri and he made numerous visits to the gym where she worked.

Sentencing of a young man for harassing a woman working at a gym for a period of four months — where he even followed her home — was adjourned for a psychologist’s report.

The case was before Cork District Court for sentencing on Monday and a probation report and a victim impact statement had been prepared for that purpose. However, Judge Marian O’Leary noted that the probation service recommended the preparation of a psychologist’s report. Judge O’Leary acceded to an application by defence solicitor Eddie Burke to extend free legal aid for the preparation of such a report. Sentencing was then put back until July 24.
