A book of evidence was served today on a 33-year-old man on a single charge of sexually assaulting another man in Cork over four years ago.<\/p>\n
The charge brought by Detective Garda Eimear Brennan states that on July 31 2021 at an address in Cork city he did sexually assault a named male.<\/p>\n
On the application of Sergeant John Kelleher, Judge John King sent the case forward from Cork District Court to the next sessions of Cork Circuit Criminal Court commencing on October 28.<\/p>\n
Judge King first gave the defendant the alibi notice whereby the state must be informed of any witnesses who may be called if such a defence is going to be used.<\/p>\n
There is a prohibition on identifying any of the parties to the case because of the nature of the charge.<\/p>\n
The defendant was remanded on continuing bail on conditions that include having no contact, direct or indirect, with the complainant or any witnesses in the case and providing garda\u00ed with a phone number at which he is contactable at all times.<\/p>\n
No details were given at Cork District Court of any of the allegations in this case which gave rise to the sexual assault charge being brought against the defendant.<\/p>\n
The accused was represented by solicitor Dennis Healy and free legal aid was extended for a barrister to represent the accused at the circuit court<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A book of evidence was served today on a 33-year-old man on a single charge of sexually assaulting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2246,61,60,43],"class_list":["post-36912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-cork-court","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
