A 77-year-old Donegal-based retired teacher was ordered extradited to the UK by the High Court on 26 July 2017 to face a single charge of indecent assault.

The alleged assault involved a ten-year-old student who was alone with the respondent in a UK school staff room in June or July 1978.

Justice Aileen Donnelly rejected objections concerning delay, earlier decisions not to prosecute and the alleged offence date. She extended bail with more restrictive conditions, on the basis that he would present himself for surrender at the appropriate time.
