Man accused of Cork sex assault 'doesn't know why he's in court'

The judge said that as the case had been sent forward for trial by indictment following service of the book of evidence it was no longer before the district court.

A 62-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the Douglas area of Cork was served with a book of evidence today but he complained that he did not know why he was before the court.

The accused man, Patrick Vaughan, said he had asked three months ago to get the statement of complaint that was made against him and he still had not received it.
