Alright, so let’s dive into this wild story about a dodgy masseur who landed himself in hot water after pulling a seriously creepy move on a client. Picture this: a woman goes to a fancy hotel in Cork for a nice massage to treat herself for her birthday, right? Sounds chill so far. But then, Lenon De Souza Seara, a Brazilian dude working at the spa, decides to ask her if she wants a “surprise” at the end of the session. Like, what kind of surprise are we talking about here, Lenon?
The poor woman, thinking it’s just some fancy oils or something, agrees to the surprise. So she’s lying on the table, all relaxed with a towel wrapped around her, when out of nowhere, Lenon decides to lick her vagina. Yeah, you read that right. She freaks out, jumps off the table, and bolts out of there like her life depends on it. Can you even imagine the shock and disgust she must have felt in that moment? Unbelievable.
Now, Lenon, who has zero priors, ends up pleading guilty to sexually assaulting this woman. The victim, in her statement, describes feeling violated and vulnerable after the incident. She struggles with whether or not to speak up about it, feeling naive and questioning herself. The judge, Helen Boyle, takes Lenon’s traumatic past into account but still slaps him with a three-year sentence, with the last six months suspended. At least the victim’s powerful impact statement gets some recognition, right? And hey, she even shows some compassion by acknowledging Lenon lost his job over this shady behavior. Wild stuff, folks.
