A man has been sent forward for trial to the circuit criminal court on two charges of rape alleged to have taken place in Donegal.
The defendant who cannot be identified is charged with two counts of raping a female in the carpark of a Donegal pub in October 2023. The offence is contrary to Section 4 of the Criminal Law (Rape) (Amendment) Act, 1990.
A recent district court sitting in Donegal heard that the defendant was served with the book of evidence.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) directed that the accused be sent forward for trial to the Central Criminal Court on both charges.
