The Coalition For Women In Journalism welcomes the decision of a Dublin court to penalize the teenage harasser and stalker of BBC News reporter Aileen Moynagh with a two-year probation supervision order.

A teenager has pleaded guilty for harassing and stalking BBC journalist Aileen Moynagh. The boy, whose name cannot be revealed due to his minor status, is seventeen years of age and originally from Dublin. He had harassed Aileen digitally as well as physically for several months starting in October 2020, forcing her to leave her place of residence out of security concerns. The boy has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and autism.
