Veteran comic Sil Fox due back in court on March 20 as he sues for emotional distress

Veteran Irish comic Sil Fox says losing his career after being the victim of a false sex assault allegation has affected his short-term memory.

The popular entertainer, who turns 93 next month, lost his showbiz gigs after an unnamed woman claimed he inappropriately touched her in a Dublin pub while having a selfie taken in December 2018.
