Armagh All-Ireland winner Aidan Nugent has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault charges.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old was appearing before Newry Crown Court facing eight charges alleged to have been committed on 17 November last year.<\/p>\n
Mr Nugent, from the Cullyhanna Road in Newtownhamilton, faces seven charges of sexual assault and one of sexual assault by penetration, against a single complainant in the United States.<\/p>\n
The alleged offences happened when the Armagh Gaelic football team had travelled to Miami, Florida, to celebrate the team’s All-Ireland win.<\/p>\n
Defence counsel Kieran Mallon informed the court there would be five witnesses to give evidence in the trial.<\/p>\n
While granting Mr Nugent bail, Judge Paul Ramsey KC scheduled the trial for 2 March but that he would review the case on 8 December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Armagh All-Ireland winner Aidan Nugent has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault charges.
