Irish businessman extradited to US

The High Court has today ordered that a 53 year old Irishman businessman be extradited to the United States where he is wanted for sexually assaulting a minor during the 1990's.

The man, who cannot be named, was wanted by State of New York in the US, where in 1998 a plea of guilty was made on his behalf to one count of sexual assault of a boy less than 11 year old, which is said to have occurred during the mid 1990's.
