THIS video shows convicted sex predator Philip Murphy denying he is a danger to women, two days before he carried out two separate sex assaults in Dublin to which he pleaded guilty on Tuesday.

The Sunday World confronted the convicted predator in Dublin after his release from Arbour Hill on February 23^rd of 2016.

Fleeing on foot after spotting our camera, Murphy took shelter in a public car park at the rear of the Irish Prison Service building, where he had gone in the hope of seeking long-term accommodation.

After our team followed him inside, Murphy tried to hide.

Identifying ourselves as journalists from the Sunday World, Murphy shouted back at us: “You are putting my life in danger.”

He then got in a lift, descending two levels, and fleeing once again.

We followed the convicted predator down through the bowels of the building before giving chase, as he attempted to escape through several locked doors with no success.

Holding a scarf to his face, we repeatedly told Murphy that we were only looking to speak with him.

“Did you receive counselling in prison?” we asked.

“Yeah, I did,” he said.

“Are you still a danger to women?” we asked next.

“No,” he responded.

Murphy then grabbed his phone to ring someone and complained: “They have me cornered in a f**king car park.”

Yesterday, Murphy (40) pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to two counts of sexually assaulting two women at Jervis Lane and O’Rahilly Parade in Dublin on February 25^th of 2016 – 48 hours after our video was recorded.

The court heard Murphy had just been released from serving a 10-year prison sentence for falsely imprisoning a woman, a court has heard.

Murphy, of no fixed abode in the Dublin 8 area, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexually assaulting the two women at Jervis Lane and O'Rahilly Parade in Dublin on February 25, 2016. He will be sentenced next February.

During both incidents, Murphy grabbed the woman from behind as they were walking on their own through the city in the early hours of the morning, told them he wanted to have sex with them and said he was going to kill them.

“You're going to die tonight,” he repeatedly told one victim.
