The unnamed Dublin woman was acquitted of sexual assault and rape at the Central Criminal Court on 11 April 2025. The jury returned not guilty verdicts on all 12 counts after more than nine hours of deliberation.

The charges concerned alleged offences during sleepovers in Dublin between July 2017 and July 2019. The woman had pleaded not guilty and denied the allegations; the complainant and her parents said the sleepovers occurred, while the accused and defence witnesses disputed that account.

The jury’s verdicts resolved the case against the woman.
