Ms Marie Torrens BL, defending, told Judge Katherine Delahunt at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, that her client, known as "Mr C", was seeking a trial date and that the case should take one week.

"Mr C" now faces sexual assault charges after a nolle prosequi was entered in relation to the unlawful carnal knowledge charge.
