Unemployed dance teacher Leonard Watters pleaded guilty to making two false reports to Irish police that the pop music mogul groped him in Dublin nightspot Krystle last April. The 24-year-old from Navan, Co Meath, was granted bail to appeal against the sentence. His solicitor, Cahir O’Higgins, told the Dublin court Watters was a tragic figure whose life had been a litany of disasters from an early age. He was now a laughing stock, and was a pariah in his own community. “For ever and a day, he will be known as the guy who accused Louis Walsh in the wrong,” he added. Mr O’Higgins said Watters was not malicious but a human being in pain who had a history of self-harm. He added: “He is a vulnerable, fragile human being.” Bail was granted at 400 euro (£334), with 100 euro (£83.50) cash to be lodged immediately.
