Landlord attacked woman because she was 'too sexy'

A 33-yeae-old woman sexually assaulte by her landlord because she was too "sex", secured 175,000 euro in damages in the High Court against the man in what the judge described as a particularly "odious assault".

The court was told the man, now approaching 60, was separated from his wife who had won the lottery and held title deeds to a number of properties.

Ms Justice Maureen Clark said the man had without provocation sexually assaulted the young woman who was 27 years of age at the time. He had tried to kiss her and, when she resisted, pulled her into the living room and forced himself on her, climaxing in his clothes. The surprise, fear and embarrassment suffered by the woman had a profound effect on her. He had spent about an hour carrying out sexually humiliating behaviour towards her.
