O Searcaigh denies sexual exploitation in Nepal
Controversial Donegal poet Cathal O Searcaigh has claimed he was wronged and misrepresented in the documentary 'Fairytale of Kathmandu'.
In the film, O Searcaigh admits that he has sex with teenage boys and young men during his frequent visits to Nepal.
However, in a pre-recorded interview on Radio na Gaeltachta today, he denied engaging in sexual exploitation.
He also said he intends to return to Ireland.
The interview was O Searcaigh's first public comment since the documentary was shown on television here recently and sparked widespread controversy across the country.
