A man and a woman have appeared in court in Enniskillen charged with offences including rape and neglect of a child, after being extradited from Malta.
They cannot be named to protect the identity of the complainant, and were arrested at airports in England at the weekend.
The man, 27, has been charged with eight offences, including rape and assault on dates unknown between February 2020 and June 2021.
The woman, 58, has been charged with six offences, including cruelty to a child in terms of neglect and assault.
They both indicated they understood the charges when they appeared at Enniskillen Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
A detective constable told the court she believed she could connect the accused to the charges.
The woman was arrested by a PSNI detective at Gatwick Airport and the man was arrested at Manchester Airport, the court heard.
No applications for bail were made for either defendant.
The case was adjourned to December 29.
The judge granted legal aid for counsel, agreeing they were “very serious” alleged offences.
