Man in court accused of paying for sex in Co Tyrone
A 32-year-old man has appeared at Dungannon Magistrates Court charged with paying for sex.
Irmantas Stuina, of Parkwood Manor, Dungannon, is accused of obtaining sexual services from a person in exchange for payment on October 11 last year.
The court heard that at approximately 8.30pm police were on mobile patrol at Ballygawley Road, Dungannon, when they observed a male leaving a flats complex.
Prosecuting counsel said that they could tell from his body language that he was nervous and they stopped and spoke to him.
He said they asked him what he had been doing and he told them he had had a massage.
Stuina then told the police he had paid £80 for sex and indicated that he was ashamed and embarrassed, the lawyer added.
District Judge Francis Rafferty said he would like a short pre-sentence report before dealing with the matter.
The judge adjourned the case until May 15.
