 The High Court has ordered the extradition of a 77-year-old retired teacher to the UK to face a single charge of indecently assaulting a student forty years ago, reports Alison O’Riordan.

The UK citizen, with an address in Co Donegal but who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is alleged to have indecently assaulted a ten-year-old student on one occasion when they were alone in a school staff room in the UK in June or July 1978. The offence carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
