Judge strikes out prostitution case against tragic teen BreakingNews.ie: "Defence solicitor Catherine Ghent detailed the young woman’s background for the court telling the judge that the girl came from an exceptionally dysfunctional background: her mother was a heroin addict; there was violence in the home; she had been taken to England by a 26-year-old man against her and her family’s wishes at the age of 16; he had injected her with heroin; throughout childhood she had to look after a sibling and her mother and though she is a recovering addict her mother still pressures her to take heroin."
