Kilkenny Court - Man charged with pub sexual assault

A man has been charged with sexual assault following an incident in a Kilkenny pub.

The man, who can not be identified for legal reasons, is charged with the offence that is alleged to have occurred on March 8 last.

Sergeant Morgan O’Connor told the court that evidence will be given that the man was on the dance floor of the pub when he put his hand under a woman’s skirt.

Judge Geraldine Carthy accepted jurisdiction in the case.

She directed full disclosure to be made to the man’s solicitor and adjourned the matter to a court sitting in November.
