Kevin Kletzander told gardaí he was ‘looking for love’ when they arrived at the Ilac Shopping Centre to arrest him in 2021
Det Garda Mark Costello told Grainne O’Neill BL, prosecuting, that the first victim was on Grafton Street on August 5th, 2021 at appropriately 8.40am when she saw a man walking towards her. She noticed him as he looked odd and she feared he wanted to steal her handbag. Instead, he put his arm under her skirt and touched her crotch area.
Separately, a 32-year-old woman was in the Ilac Shopping Centre on the afternoon of August 27th, 2021. She was watching her son play, when she was grabbed on the buttocks from behind and pushed forward. The next day, another woman was walking into the Ilac Shopping Centre at 8.15am, when Kletzander, who was walking in the opposite direction, asked her for a “bl*wjob”. She was shocked and froze. Kletzander then grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her head towards his crotch area. She screamed and he backed off.
Kletzander was arrested shortly afterwards in the Ilac Centre, before he sexually assaulted the woman garda at Store Street Garda station by slapping her once on the buttocks.One victim impact statement was handed in, but not read aloud. Kletzander has been in custody since August 2021, and had been living in hostel accommodation in recent years.
