Mark Dolan (49) told gardaí he had an insect bite on his genitals when first questioned
A man who masturbated in front of four children last year and later told gardaí he had an insect bite in his genital region has been given a suspended sentence.
He took into account a number of mitigating factors including Dolan’s lack of criminal convictions. He handed down a two-and-a-half-year sentence and suspended it on a number of conditions, including that Dolan not visit the area where his offending took place. Three of the children’s mothers read out victim impact statements, while a prosecuting garda read out a victim impact statement on behalf of the mother of the fourth child.
“I will never forget the look of fear and confusion on their faces when they knocked on my door to tell me about ‘the bad man’,” she said.
