Woman claims garda sexually assaulted her after 999 call

GARDAÍ will send a file in the coming weeks to the State prosecutor following allegations of sexual assault against a garda.

Detectives in Dublin quizzed a member of the force after a young woman made a complaint regarding an officer she had gone to for help.

Late last week the woman rang the emergency number 999 in a depressed state. The woman, who had been drinking in the city centre, told operators she felt suicidal.
