Jury fails to reach verdict on Cork GP accused of sexual assault

A jury failed to reach a verdict in the case of a North Cork GP accused of sexually assaulting a teenage patient almost 20 years ago.

Despite deliberating for more than eight hours over two days at Cork Circuit Criminal Court, the jury foreperson told Judge Seán O Donnabháin that there was no possibility of reaching an agreement in the trial of Kevin Mulcahy.

The 57-year-old doctor from Cregane, Lombardstown, Mallow, Co Cork, was impassive as Judge O Donnabháin thanked the jury for its service.
