A teenage boy who raped a girl in a park, putting his hands around her throat and telling her she was his “slut”, has been sentenced to 16 months detention.
However, there is no space available in Oberstown detention centre for the boy who, as a result, was remanded on continuing bail in the Central Criminal Court today until a space becomes available.
Mr Justice Paul McDermott said he was “not greatly impressed” there was no space available for the boy, who is due to turn 18 soon.
