A judge has said he is "seriously considering" jailing a man who slapped a shop worker on the behind as he passed her in a department store.
Keegan Davidson (26) offered the woman €400 in compensation for sexually assaulting her, but she said she was not in court to get money.
Judge Bryan Smyth gave him six months to "see how he gets on" with probation supervision before deciding on a sentence.
Davidson, with an address at Focus Ireland, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the woman.
Detective Garda Maeve Hamilton said the victim, in her 20s, began work on an evening in March 2018 in a booth in a major Dublin store, selling designer clothes.
