Indian man jailed for four months over indecent exposure spree in Dublin

Rishabh Mahajan, a 31-year-old Indian man, exposed himself and masturbated in public in front of three women in Dublin between 11 October and 4 November 2024, and sexually assaulted one of them by touching her bottom. CCTV of the incident was obtained on 6 November 2024, and Mahajan was arrested two days later. He pleaded guilty, and the Circuit Criminal Court adjourned the case for a probation report before he was given a 16-month jail term with 12 months suspended, leaving four months, and placed on the sex offenders register, as reported on 3 June 2026. The latest development is that a deportation process is to be started against him.
