A judge has been asked by a former sex worker for orders preventing another ex-sex worker from publishing alleged defamatory statements that she never “worked” certain Dublin streets

Image: Laura Hutton via RollingNews.ie Image: Laura Hutton via RollingNews.ie A JUDGE HAS been asked by a former sex worker for orders preventing another ex-sex worker from publishing alleged defamatory statements that she never “worked” certain Dublin streets.

Walker, who appeared with solicitor Dermot McClean of Lavelle Partners, told the court Moran had written a memoir in 2013 titled Paid For: My Journey Through Prostitution, which related details of her time working as a teenage sex worker on Waterloo Road and Burlington Road, Dublin 4, between 1991-1993.

Walker, in his summary of Moran’s application for injunctions against Dalton, said that around this time Dalton had begun publishing defamatory blog posts online and a number of tweets in which she had unlawfully accused Moran of scamming money along with harming sex workers for profit. Dalton had also accused SPACE International, an organisation founded by Moran in 2012, of being run by frauds who had been selling out the lives of sex workers.

Dalton, who represented herself in court, told Judge O’Connor she had found it impossible to believe that Moran had ever worked on Waterloo Road or Burlington Road on the dates she had specified. She said anyone under age had been sent home by the other workers. Dalton said many of the other sex workers had teenage children and would have recognised anyone of that age.
