Keith Spencer BL, defending O’Keeffe, told the court that his client has a nine-year-old daughter and no previous convictions.
Mr Spencer described O’Keeffe as “particularly vulnerable” at the time of the offence and said he will be making the case that “her moral culpability was low”.
Judge Crowe adjourned the case for sentencing on October 25th this year.
