Pat O'Connell

Those kind of comments were still coming from him.

pushing the boundaries a bit all the time you know being aggressive aggressively sexual and then retreating when he felt he'd overstepped the mark um eventually he said well look we can just be friends and he told this woman that he was going to take her to the best coffee place in dublin

And she believed that was going to happen.

Instead, he picked her up in a blue BMW that he also used in all the other crimes he committed because there was a pattern here with what Patrick Nevin was doing.

He was picking people up in these cars, picking women up in these cars, taking them to isolated locations.

And then he was attacking them.

With the Brazilian student, he actually took her into the UCD campus and took her to a secluded field.

She told him that this wasn't what she was planning on doing.

But she said he basically turned into a monster in the car, that he attacked her, he tried to kiss her, he tried to get her clothes off.

Now while this was happening she did somehow manage to get her seatbelt off and to open the door and she ran and as she fled he drove away from the scene and there was a woman out walking her dogs that helped her to get into a taxi and she managed to report the crime later.

Now luckily

UCD have cameras at the entrances and exits of that campus.

And the Gardaí were able to track Patrick Nevin through the registration number of his car.

But at the same time, he was also under investigation for a number of other attacks during the same election.

Yeah.

That's not entirely clear.

There was three attacks that had been carried out.

Within a short space of time.

Within 11 days.

One of these was a woman that he again picked up in the blue BMW, took to a laneway up in the Dublin mountains.
