Man pretended to be journalist to extort money from elderly sex offender, court hears
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Desmond Hogan agreed to put the matter back to July 17 so Murphy can be assessed by the Probation Service for his suitability for the Restorative Justice Programme. "He was well able to call to the man's house to demand money, let's see if he's able to call to his house to apologise," the judge said.
