Nine Years For Sexual Assault Of Teenage Employee
A 34-year-old man has been sentenced to nine years in jail for sexually assaulting a female teenage employee.
Chun Ming Chen of Glanmire, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to 16 counts of intercourse with the girl and nine counts of sexual assault.
Chen, who is also known as Jimmy, runs Ming's Chinese restaurant in Glanmire.
The court heard how he began sexually assaulting the girl in late 2007, when she was just 14, after she took a part-time job with him.
The assaults went on for almost three years and got progressively more serious, until the girl eventually told her mother and made a complaint to gardaí.
The girl said in her victim impact statement that Chen had taken her teenage years from her and she did not know how to stop what was happening.
The final three years of the sentence were suspended.
