By Francis Carroll, The Drogheda Independent

A 45-year-old man summonsed for an offence allegedly committed in a public sauna, has had his case adjourned until next year.

The defendant is accused of, on May 15, 2022, in a public place, exposing his genitals and engaging in an act of masturbation.

Counsel said that his client had returned from Australia to attend Drogheda Court on Monday.

The barrister applied for a long adjournment for hearing, and said that there was no CCTV in the disclosure.

Court presenter Sgt John O’Hehir said that there was no CCTV. The incident allegedly occurred in a sauna.

Judge Nicola Andrews adjourned the case to September 28, 2026, noting no formal plea entered.
