Jake O'Dwyer at Letterkenny Circuit Court. (North West Newspix)
A man has pleaded guilty to harassing a woman in County Donegal.
Jake O’Dwyer appeared before Letterkenny Circuit Court, where he tendered his guilty plea.
O’Dwyer, of Ballyragget, Kilkenny, spoke only to plead guilty when formally arraigned before Judge John Aylmer.
The 31-year-old is charged with harassment contrary to section 10 (1) and (9) of the Non Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997, as substituted by section 23 of the Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2023.
The charge relates to dates between November 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025 when he is charged that he did, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, persistently harassed the woman by communicating by text messages, WhatsApp and phone calls, causing distress to the woman.
The court heard that O’Dwyer also faces other charges, which his barrister, Mr Peter Nolan BL, said were “all part of the same situation”.
Mr Nolan told the court that an up to date probation report has been received on O’Dwyer.
The case was adjourned until the next term of Letterkenny Circuit Court.
