Gardaí Arrest Five Boys in Dublin Sex Assault Inquiry, Release Them Pending DPP File

A file is being prepared for the DPP, with unconfirmed media claims of more suspects and recordings.

Overview

  • Gardaí confirmed five arrests on January 20 in relation to an alleged assault on a female in Dublin.
  • The five were questioned and released without charge pending a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
  • The investigation follows a teenage girl reporting a sexual assault by multiple males in recent weeks.
  • Media reports, not confirmed by Gardaí, say investigators believe six boys were involved, that part of the incident was filmed, and that alcohol was given to the girl.
  • Gardaí have not confirmed ages, though the Irish Mirror reports those involved are minors, and the girl is understood to have confided in a family member who contacted police.
