Walsh denies accusations of assault
The music impresario, who has managed groups including Boyzone, Westlife and Jedward, issued a statement over the weekend to deny the accusation that has shocked the Irish pop music and entertainment worlds.
A 24-year-old male has made a complaint to gardaí that he was molested by Walsh in a toilet at Krystle nightclub on Harcourt Street in Dublin in the early hours of April 10 last following a Westlife concert the previous evening. It is understood that Walsh was interviewed by gardaí investigating the allegation in a Dublin hotel last Friday at which he utterly rejected the claim made by his purported victim.
