Paul Kelleher, 61, an Irish man and joint owner of Newfaze Ink, a tattoo and piercing business in Portlaoise, Laois, was convicted of three counts of sexual assault for assaulting two women and a 14-year-old girl who were clients of the business. The offences took place between August and December 2015 and in January 2018, with two victims being assaulted while receiving piercings and the third while having a piercing cleaned. Karen Kelly, one of the victims, reported the assault to gardaí at Portlaoise Garda Station about six months after it occurred.
