A 57-year-old grandmother was directed to be found not guilty of three sexual assault charges after the case against her was withdrawn. The proceedings were reported on 15 June 2021.

Mr Justice Paul McDermott directed the verdict after considering the evidence and following legal argument by defence counsel Lorcan Staines.

During cross-examination, one complainant said she may have been mistaken and could not remember the grandmother doing anything.
