Man extradited in sexual abuse case

A 41-YEAR-OLD man was brought before a special sitting of the District Court in Killarney last night, on 11 charges including alleged rape, alleged sexual assault and alleged attempted rape.

The accused, who is Irish but who has been living in England for many years, was arrested on foot of an extradition warrant and the offences were allegedly committed in a house in Killarney between December 1, 2001, and January 31, 2002.

The charges involve two minors. His solicitor, Padraig O’Connell, Killarney, said all charges were being denied.
