Lough Derg employee duped unsuspecting women into sex assaults by pretending his penis was a pipe on a washing machine he needed help with

I didn't quite get his he did this, but here's the relevant sections with the first one maybe being poorly written:

The statements outlined how the unsuspecting women were asked to reach behind them into the machines while Gallagher fixed a ‘pipe.”

An older victim was approached by Gallagher who asked her to reach behind a dishwasher and hold a pipe but she “knew immediately it was no pipe” as it was warm and soft and felt like a penis.

Also, made worse that these are all people attending a sorry sort of religious pilgrimage.
