The state has dropped charges against a man accused of sexual assault in Dublin last year.
The 27-year-old man, who can’t be named for legal reasons, appeared in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court by videolink.
He was charged with two counts of sexual assault at a location in Dublin on October 20, 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told Judge Martin Nolan that nolle prosequis were being entered in relation to both charges, meaning they were being withdrawn.
Judge Nolan told the man he should be released from custody. The man replied, “thank you”.
