Cases
latest first- Man to face circuit court trial over sexual letters sent to Offaly school principal Harassment · Co. Offaly
Philip McGachey has been charged with harassment over anonymous letters of a sexual and graphic nature allegedly sent to the acting principal of a national school in Offaly. Gardaí were told of the letters on December 9, 2021, and reported a DNA match under a stamp on one letter on January 1, 2023. At Tullamore District Court in November 2023, the DPP directed summary disposal on a plea only, but the judge refused jurisdiction and sent the case forward for trial to the circuit criminal court. The latest development is that the accused was remanded on bail to December 20 for DPP directions.
