Alleged Kildare sexual assault case marked for entry due to delays

A case involving a man accused of a number of serious offences, including assault causing harm, sexual abuse and coercive control, has had his case marked for entry.

The most recent hearing of the case took place at Naas District Court on Thursday, May 25, which was when a book of evidence was due to be presented.

Garda Sergeant Brian Jacob told Judge Desmond Zaidan that the Director of Public Prosecutions needed one more month to finalise the book.

"This is because it is a complex investigation," he said: "She wants to make sure that she is fully prepared."

Judge Zaidan extended time for the book of evidence to a date next month.

He marked the case for entry against the State, and remanded the accused on continuing bail until the next date.
