Two young men launch court actions aimed at halting prosecutions arising out of alleged sexual assault

It is claimed that at the time of the alleged assault the males were all second-level students who attended the same school as the girl.

A complaint was made to gardaí in early 2020 about the incident. Following a Garda investigation, charges were brought against a number of males allegedly involved. Both of the young men were among a group of males arrested and interviewed in August 2020. He is charged with false imprisonment contrary to the 1997 Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act.In their separate High Court judicial review actions against the Director of Public Prosecutions the two males claim they were entitled to a speedy trial, given the alleged offences are said to have occurred when they were both 15 years of age and minors.

The high court? These lads seem to be exceptionally well represented. They must come from wealthy families.
