A man has been charged with a sexual assault offence following an incident at a Kilkenny filling station.

Sergeant Morgan O’Connor told Kilkenny District Court that the incident occurred on June 12, 2023.

The assault occurred at a large filling station in county Kilkenny.


The injured party told gardaí that the man approached them from behind, pushed a can of Monster soft drink against their bum and said “can I stick my d**k in it?”


Solicitor Ed Hughes said his client entered a guilty plea and accepted responsibility in the matter.
He handed a psychologist’s report into court, saying his client suffers from mental health and addiction issues.
