Deliveroo Driver Denied Bail over Alleged Sexual Assault of Eight-Year-Old Girl
The accused was denied bail due to concerns he might evade trial and suspicions of similar approaches to two other children, Gardaí said during the hearing.
- On Wednesday, the 27-year-old former Deliveroo driver appeared at Dublin District Court and was denied bail, remanded to Cloverhill to appear again on March 18.
- A recorded specialist interview said the eight-year-old girl recalled the electric-bicycle delivery rider pulled down her pants to her knees, touched her hip and used two fingers on her lower stomach.
- A search warrant executed on Tuesday seized his Deliveroo jacket and bag, waterproof trousers, mobile phone, passport and false Portuguese driving licence.
- Garda Grainne Raggett said she will seek directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions about further charges, noting the accused has no valid Irish immigration status after arriving from the UK two years ago.
- Defence counsel Ciara Murray pleaded for bail, saying her client would abide by stringent conditions and had cooperated with Gardaí, leaving Deliveroo employment around two weeks ago.
