Woman denies sexually assaulting younger brother
The woman, aged 46, is on trial before Judge Brian O’Callaghan and a jury of six men and six women at Cork Circuit Criminal Court. She has pleaded not guilty to all 10 charges of sexual assault. The parties cannot be identified for legal reasons.
It is alleged by her brother that she sexually assaulted him from when he was aged nine and she was in her early 20s. The prosecution closed its case yesterday and Vincent Heneghan, defence senior counsel, said the defence would not be calling any evidence.
