The police service in Northern Ireland did not prosecute because there was no case. Inappropriate doesn't mean criminal. The guy had mental health issues.

A lot of people make stupid mistakes when drunk. We don't know if he knew her age. But it seems he did nothing crimmnaly wrong People are quick enough to throw stones Dundalkfc10 said: They went of sexual nature Click to expand.
