Overview
- Denis Morris, 24, admitted stalking by following a woman into the Iveagh Gardens hotel on March 21 after she left Copper Faced Jacks.
- CCTV showed him spotting and following her into the lift, and Gardaí later identified him using further footage and his taxi‑app records before arresting him.
- The victim told the court the incident has taken over her life, describing severe anxiety, turning down work, and filming in the lift out of fear as her mother waited in the room.
- Judge Treasa Kelly adjourned sentencing to February for a probation report, with a restorative justice process under consideration, and continued Morris’s bail.
- Defense said he had been heavily intoxicated, has since sought help for alcohol issues and is now sober, wrote a letter of apology, lost his job, and has no prior convictions.
