DPP to bring new sexual assault charges against 'Mr C'

The Director of Public Prosecutions is to bring new charges against "Mr C", a man who successfully challenged the constitutionality of statutory rape legislation earlier this year.

At Dublin Circuit Criminal Court barrister for the DPP entered a 'nolle prosequi' on the current charges against "Mr C" and five others, and said the DPP intended to recharge them on sexual assault charges.
