A young man got into a woman s house and sexually assaulted her while she was asleep in bed after a ‘get to know your neighbour party.
Anthony Ferguson appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court in Co Donegal where he was charged with sexual assault, burglary and threats to damage property.
Ferguson, a 26-year-old supermarket manager, pleaded guilty to all the charges.
The court was told that Ferguson, with an address at Brittania Point, Colliers Wood in London, was an outsider who had arrived at the event held on a Donegal housing estate on July 21, 2018.
The party, which was arranged by locals, involved storytelling and other activities for children as well as food and alcohol.
