READ MORE - Woman molested by babysitter as a child says trial process was as bad as him abusing her again He said this was an aspect of the Central Criminal Court list of which he was acutely aware and said it was very important that trials get on and disclosure is completed in a timely fashion. Detective Garda Gavin Cooke told Gerard Clarke SC, prosecuting, that the young woman had been having difficulties in her personal life. While speaking to a person she believed to be a 17-year-old boy through social media, he told her he knew a man who could help her with her problems.

Earlier in the evening Fennell had been talking about killing or murdering people and for this reason she decided to remain quiet. When he left, she made her way out of the house. The girl described in her victim impact statement how she had moved as she had been so terrified by what occurred. She outlined how it still affects her life and she hopes to attend counselling.
