Teen allegedly ‘sexually assaulted’ at Shawn Mendes concert
Gardaí are currently investigating an incident at the 3Arena during a Shawn Mendes concert involving a teenage girl.
Allegedly, the young woman was 'sexually assaulted' in the bathroom at the Canadian pop singer's sold-out gig in Dublin.
The teenager took to social media to write about her experience, and confirmed that she had explained the situation to the Gardaí.
She wrote: "On Saturday 13th of April I attended a Shawn Mendes concert in a well known Dublin venue near the docks."
"During a visit to the toilets I was sexually assaulted by an unknown person. The venue is aware of this and so are the guards." she continued.
"This is a warning to anybody attending any event from now on not to go to the toilet on your own," she said, shedding light on the lack of safety even at public events.
"If this message and my experience can save one person from going through what I went through then my experience will not be totally negative."
A garda spokesman said: "Gardaí are investigating an alleged sexual assault of a female, that occurred at a venue on North Wall Quay, Dublin 1 on the April 13, 2019. Investigations are ongoing."
A spokesperson for the 3Arena has been contacted about the troubling allegation.
