Kirsty Hogan claimed she had been kicked by the security man, Nigerian native Patrick Okorie, when he had tried to stop her and a group of her friends from passing the Spar shop on Cumberland Road in south Dublin’s city centre in October 2008
Hogan, an international soccer player from Railway Street who was 14 at the time, said she was not trying to enter the shop and was merely passing by on the way to another one. She was kicked under her chin, she said, and had gone to hospital after bleeding heavily.
The Irish Times reports, however, that the court was also told that Okorie had himself been kicked in the testicles – an event Hogan said “didn’t happen”.
Hogan, the court heard, had been selected to represent Sport Against Racism Ireland at an international football festival in Serbia next month, and had a short story published in a collection organised by author Roddy Doyle.
Okorie was said to have been a published author and columnist in his home country.
Judge Joseph Matthews said there were obvious irreconcilable differences in the evidence given by the two parties, but accepted Hogan’s account of events.
Okorie had signed an “adult caution” in lieu of criminal prosecution, saying he had done so to avoid legal hassle
