Alleged breach of bail not accepted by judge at Derry Court
Stephen Mongan (18) of Clon Elagh in Derry appeared charged with breaching three of his bail conditions on July 4
A judge at Derry Magistrate's Court has said that he would not rule on an alleged breach of bail that was not accepted at this stage.
Stephen Mongan (18) of Clon Elagh in Derry appeared charged with breaching three of his bail conditions on July 4.
A police officer told the court that a witness had told them that they had been on a video call with a female and could see Mongan in the background in breach of a condition that he had no contact with the woman.
The witness also said that Mongan was flicking through an iPhone which was also a breach of his bail.
The officer said that Mongan was also prohibited from entering Derry.
Defence solicitor Keith Kyle said that his client did not accept the breach of bail.
He said that the defendant lived in Newtownstewart and could only assume that the 'allegations were made up maliciously'.
District Judge Alan White said that if the breach was not accepted then the witness would need to be produced to give evidence.
He said he would release Mongan on bail until July 23 and make a judgement then.
