Appeal for witnesses, CCTV footage after serious sexual assault

A woman with special needs was sexually assaulted after being accosted and brought to a house in Dublin city yesterday afternoon.

GARDAÍ ARE APPEALING for anyone with CCTV cameras in their vehicle or property in the South Circular Road, South Richmond St and Portobello area to send them the footage as they try to find out who sexually assaulted a woman with special needs.

Gardaí at Kevin Street are appealing for witnesses following a serious sexual assault incident which occurred on Wednesday between 4pm and 5pm.

They said this evening that reports that a male offender has been identified are not true.

They said that a female in her mid-20s was walking along the South Circular Road towards Harrington Street between 4pm and 4.15pm when she was accosted by a dark skinned male.

They walked in the direction of the Victoria Street / Lennox Street area and it is believed that they both entered a dwelling somewhere in the general area of the South Circular Road/ South Richmond Street / Portobello area. The assault took place in this building.

The male was described by the witness as being dark skinned, black hair and of a medium height.

The woman is described as 4’ 10” with shoulder length brown hair and wearing a black cardigan, beige top, black knee-length leggings and white runners.

Investigating officers are appealing for anyone who may have seen this young woman in the company of this man in the areas mentioned or who may have information in relation to this incident to contact Kevin Street Garda Station 01 666 9400, the Garda Confidential Line 1 800 666 111, or any garda station.

Gardaí have also requested any person who may have private CCTV cameras in their vehicles (such as taxis, vans, or private buses), or on their property, to make contact with the incident room.

    Some websites have managed to work around the ad blocker such as TV3 Player so I wonder will YouTube do the same, hopefully not.

    I honestly didn’t realise YouTube had ads until I started watching it on my mobile. I’d downloaded ad blocker on my laptop years ago so it came as quite the surprise.

    If it came to it, I would happily give up my TV subscription and TV licence and just pay Youtube instead. They deserve it at least. Sky is a bad joke and RTE is the pits.

    Not sure Google have thought the pricing through. Can’t see many people willing to pay a score a month for Google play music and YouTube. Expect to see a sharp rise in piracy again.

    This will be the end of YouTube. The whole reason it became popular was because people could freely be creative and how others their talents.

    Adsense and vloggers ruined that. People will not pay to watch that crap that currently dominates YouTube

    I take it they’re adopting the Netflix/Spotify model. But (for me anyway), paying to skip ads is not something worth paying for. I mute the ad and do something else while I wait. When you add up all those 30 seconds for the year (excluding the ads you can’t skip, you know the ones), that’s a lot of time I spent being somewhat productive. The YouTubers get their money from showing ads cos I let it run and I didn’t spend money. Crisis averted.

    $10 a month is nuts when they give content creators .000000001 of a cent of that . At least netflix is financing new content and shows.

    I said this was going to happen due to ad blocker and i got argued with and red thumbed and told this wasn’t going happen. Now we all know google is looking for extra money but they have the excuse they need.
    Google services will start blocking IP’s and system with adblocker installed and when google do it everyone will follow. Law decided that ad blocker can block content so inturn so can google .
