A man who sexually abused a vulnerable woman in a swimming pool steam room has been jailed for six years. The woman said her life has changed, her independence has been affected, and that she has not been to this swimming pool since the incident. As part of the investigation, gardaí obtained Moqadar's details from the swimming pool. The garda agreed with defence counsel that Moqadar didn't know the woman before this incident, and she didn't know him. The judge noted the incident took place in a steam room, its short duration, the steam, and relative lack of light.
