This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The unnamed masseur denied sexually assaulting a client as his High Court application to halt the prosecution was reported on 14 April 2015. The alleged assault was said to have occurred during a massage in August 2011.

The defence said information about two earlier alleged sexual assaults involving the complainant was needed to test her credibility. The DPP opposed the application, arguing the accused could receive a fair trial; the judicial review proceedings continued.
