Case No. 15938Sexual assault · Co. Offaly

Man accused of sexually assaulting female minor in Offaly sent for trial

A 63-year-old man is accused of sexually assaulting a female minor in Offaly on dates unknown between May 1 and June 30, 2019. He cannot be named. Garda Stacey O'Brien served a book of evidence on him at Tullamore District Court the week before September 30, 2024, and Judge Andrew Cody sent him forward to the Circuit Court. He was granted bail after Judge Cody approved an independent surety of €1,000, with the surety required to show a bank account holding that sum before the case was let stand, and the judge said the €1,000 will be frozen in the account. His latest scheduled step is the Circuit Court sitting on October 8.
