The State has dropped charges against a man accused of sexual assault in Dublin last year.
The 27-year-old accused, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court by video-link.
He was charged with two counts of sexual assault at a location in Dublin on October 20th, 2025.
A senior counsel representing the State told Judge Martin Nolan that nolle prosequis were being entered in relation to both charges, meaning they were being withdrawn.
The judge said the man he should be released from custody.
“Thank you,” the man replied.
