Father tells judge that he and wife had group sex with prostitutes
Summary
In a Dublin District Family Court hearing on 10 July 2017, a father seeking weekly overnight visits with his two children disclosed to Judge Paula Murphy that he and his wife had engaged in group sex with prostitutes and had used recreational drugs, including marijuana. He denied having an alcohol or drug problem and claimed he had only occasionally smoked marijuana. The father also admitted that his marriage had broken down after discovering his wife's alleged secret affairs. The mother, who had obtained a barring order against the father in May following an incident where he allegedly pushed her down the stairs, expressed concern about overnight visits, citing an incident where her daughter found the father passed out on the couch. The father denied the allegation and his solicitor suggested the mother's concerns were exaggerated. Judge Murphy ordered a report on the children's views and adjourned the case to next week for an expert to prepare the report.
