A man has been charged in connection with the alleged assault in the Slieve League/Killybegs area of Co Donegal last month.

The man, aged in his 30s, was "rearrested" by gardaí in Donegal on Thursday as part of an ongoing investigation.

It is understood the man was previously arrested in relation to the case and was released without charge. 

He is due to appear before a special sitting of Ballyshannon District court at 4pm on Friday afternoon.

The arrest follows the discovery of a body in the water at Slieve League earlier this month.

The body, recovered by gardaí with assistance from the Coast Guard, was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital where an autopsy was due to take place.

Gardaí confirmed an incident had occurred in the Slieve League/Killybegs area at some point between Saturday June 24 and Sunday June 25.

A man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s were arrested in relation to the incident. They were later released without charge.
