High Court orders surrender of man wanted for alleged sex attack in UK
Summary
The High Court in Ireland has ordered the surrender of an unnamed man to the United Kingdom for extradition under a European Arrest Warrant. The man was arrested last year on the warrant, which was issued by British authorities. He faces charges of sexual assault by penetration, sexual assault and assault causing harm to a woman, alleged to have occurred at a house in Swindon, Wiltshire, during the night of December 20th and early morning of December 21st, 2013. If convicted, he could face a life sentence. Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly, hearing the case, found no valid objection to the extradition and made the order, which will take effect after fifteen days. The man, who was on bail, applied for continued bail until the order takes effect. He is a native of Ireland who had lived in England for twelve years at the time of the alleged offences.
