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.
