A man posed as a talent agent to bring two children to a hotel room in Galway city, a court has heard.
Judge O'Callaghan said Clifford had used the internet"to set up the deceit" and said the incident at the hotel"was a well-planned intentional set of circumstances which were created by this man to cause damage". Clifford is subject to the requirements of the Sex Offenders Act and a separate 2023 court order directing him not to have contact with children or go near schools, playgrounds or sports grounds, for ten years.
Clifford told the mother she could not attend as"children do not perform well when their parents are present", the court heard.
