A MAN is to stand trial charged with historic indecent assault over a four-year period.
Garda Pauline Doherty gave evidence at Monday’s Letterkenny District Court of serving the Book of Evidence on solicitor Rory O’Brien on behalf of his client.
The man cannot be named in order to protect the identity of the alleged victim.
Sergeant Maurice Doyle told the court that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has consented to the accused being sent forward for trial.
The accused will stand trial at Letterkenny Circuit Court, which commences on May 5.
The alleged offences of indecent assault occurred between 1981 to 1985.
The accused was remanded on continuing bail under previous conditions as set down by the court. These include that the accused has no contact with the alleged injured party, and that he resides at the address provided to gardai.
Judge Gráinne Malone administered the alibi warning.
Solicitor Rory O’Brien told the court he had “no other application to make at present”.
