Man has rape conviction quashed

The Court of Criminal appeal has quashed a man's conviction for the oral rape of a young woman because the judge at his trial referred to matters he should not have in his charge to the jury.

The CCA set aside the conviction imposed on Rafal Adach (aged 31) who was found guilty by a jury at the Central Criminal Court in February 2010 of the oral rape of the then 19-year-old woman at an address in Co Wicklow on September 23, 2007.
