Healthcare Worker on Trial for Sexual Assault | Belfast News

A healthcare worker faces trial in Mullingar over alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old patient in 2024, accused of washing her intimate areas without consent during an overdose treatment — while another patient and no guardian were present. The prosecution claims the teen was deemed “independent,” yet the accused allegedly ignored her cues and proceeded with invasive care. The defense counters he only washed her face, arms, and armpits. With 14 witnesses expected, including the victim and gardaí, the trial continues as evidence mounts — including chilling photos of the scene, untouched since the alleged incident.
