A Garda has been formally suspended and faces serious charges including sexual assault and damage to property. The court approved bail with conditions to sign weekly at a Garda station, surrender travel documents, and avoid contact with the victim. The defendant's lawyer raised objections to these conditions, citing a lack of contact with the injured party and potential difficulties in complying with the conditions. The trial may be delayed by two to three years, causing further complications for the accused's life and employment.
The accused faced numerous charges including sexual assault and coercive control, suggesting serious implications for both the individual and the integrity of law enforcement.
Ms. Doherty argued against the conditions imposed, asserting that her client had no contact with the defendant for over 18 months, presenting a case for more lenient bail terms.
