Garda arrested prostitute, and later he went back and had sex with her

[Clueless]

It shows you that guards are as horny as the rest of us- very stupid of him going back to the same place hours later- I wonder did he offer to pay as a client? Or did he offer to get her off the charge or something like that - also how was the other girl able to witness it unless she was in the room also ?? Was there a pimp somewhere I. The background?
Anyways fair play to the girl for taking the matter further- reading between the lines nothing would have come of it only for GSOC

How many of these cases never come to light..

[nibb]

It goes to show the country we live in. And they turnin us into criminals. REALLY

[Prickly]

Anybody else would have being convicted of rape. Of course, fairness has nothing to do with it.

This country is a fucking joke I bet If the girl was irish or English he would have been CHARGED with rape. Dirty scumbags them garda thinks they own the place!!!

+1 to that.
Disgusts me how there is 1 law for some and another for those with "pull".
Nothing done about the corruption on the pulse system and this will be no different.

Poor girls. How low could he get, to ride over them when they are in a state of shock.

Report from GSOC

Complaint Case Summaries
9: A complaint of Abuse of Authority, resolved by Disciplinary Investigation by GSOC
Background
A woman made a complaint to the Garda Ombudsman alleging rape by a member of the Garda Síochána. A second woman made a complaint as a direct witness of the alleged behaviour.
A criminal investigation was undertaken by a Garda Ombudsman investigator* and the file was referred to the DPP. No prosecution was directed. A disciplinary case** with regard to possible abuse of authority, corrupt or improper practice and discreditable conduct was subsequently opened by the Garda Ombudsman.
Action Taken
The investigation, carried out by a GSOC senior investigating officer, involved taking statements from the two women and from the garda concerned. The first complainant’s statement said that she felt compelled to have sexual intercourse with the garda concerned because he was a member of An Garda Síochána involved in a prosecution which led to her conviction for an offence and she feared further prosecution. Evidence showed that the garda had been involved in the prosecution of the two women. The garda’s statement said that the sexual intercourse had occurred subsequent to the arrest, but that it was consensual. The records of duty relevant to the garda were contradictory as regards his actual hours of duty, so it was unclear whether he was on- or off-duty at the time of the act.
Outcome
A report summarising the above findings of the investigation and making a recommendation was issued to Garda Authorities. A breach of discipline was found by Garda Authorities and a sanction applied.

*Pursuant to s.98 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.
**Pursuant to s.95 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.

He should be charged as clearly he saw a foreign girl who was very vulnerable and scared and he took full advantage and it was a nasty and immoral thing to do

There are far too many attacks on working girls and it should not matter if the guy was a Guard or not he should have got a prison sentence for rape.

Anyone touching a person regardless make or female on a night out or in any other place if a person says no, it means NO, there are too many people here in Ireland who think its OK to touch a girl/lady/person up on a night out when they have had a few drink, and call it a bit of banter, its not banter its sexual assult anywhere else so why not here in Ireland too!


For a country who has made so many changes around the world in such a positive way such as the none smoking ban etc it is still far behind in such things as sexual assaults and rape.

We all have the right to go about our personal lives and work lives without the fear of being attacked!!!!

There are a lot of rotten apples, and bad eggs in the Guards.
I have no time what so ever for the Guards , if you are the victim of a minor crime in this country , e.g if you have property stolen on you or your house burgled , you might as well grin and bare it , because reporting to the guards is a fucking joke.
Once they put on that uniform to go to work the power trip commenses and the obnoxiousness begins.

Not surprised at all I have heard stories of a local garda who got a blowjob or some kind of sex act off a drunk women so she wouldn't be brought up for drunk driving and nights out one of my relatives said he came on to her friend really strong when she told him to fuck off ,he seems to think if hes a guard women have to suck his dick
