Mr K misses court date

One of the men accused of unlawful carnal knowledge until the Supreme Court knocked down the legislation in the "C-case" missed a recent court date because he was fishing in Wicklow and his car broke down.

A bench warrant for his arrest had been issued by Judge Katherine Delahunt on March 2 last when the man, who can only be referred to as "Mr K", failed to appear before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for arraignment on new charges of sexual assault.
