Disclosures Tribunal: Sergeant  Maurice McCabe pleaded for name to be cleared

Maurice McCabe tried to have details of the DPP’s decision not to prosecute him on a sexual assault complaint released to colleagues and family of the complainant in order to clear his name but senior gardaí refused to support his efforts.

Sgt McCabe was accused of an offence against a colleague’s young daughter during a game of hide and seek.

The colleague had been the subject of a complaint by Sgt McCabe which resulted in disciplinary proceedings.
