Wed 11 Nov 2008Writer warned of jail for sex assault on teenage boy
A WRITER has been warned by a judge that he would get no assurances that he would avoid jail for the sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy. Judge Carroll Moran adjourned sentencing of Desmond Hogan (57), Ballybunion, Co Kerry, to allow him to be assessed for participation in a sex offenders' treatment programme.
Hogan was back at Tralee Circuit Criminal Court yesterday for sentence after he pleaded guilty last July to sexually assaulting the boy at his house in Ballybunion on November 11th, 2006.
