State drops charges of sexual assault against Cork doctor
The State has dropped charges of sexual assault against a Cork doctor after a jury failed to reach a verdict in a trial earlier this month.
Kevin Mulcahy of Lombardstown, Mallow, had pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to sexual assaulting a woman in his surgery in Mallow on a date in February 1995.
The 61-year-old also denied a second count of sexual assault at the same location on a date between May 8th 1996 and December 31th 1996. This was the second time a jury had been sworn in on the case.
Today Judge Melanie Greally heard that the State was not going to proceed with a third trial and asked that a nolle prosequi be entered against both counts.
Judge Greally acceded to the request and discharged Mr Mulcahy from the indictment.
