Teen charged with Dublin rape

An 18-year-old has been charged with raping a female in a Dublin apartment when he was 15. He was remanded on bail to appear in September. The alleged incident occurred on Dublin's north side in late 2022. The youth cannot be named for legal reasons and has not yet entered a plea. The Children's Court lacks jurisdiction for rape trials, so the case will be sent to the Central Criminal Court. Bail conditions include no contact with the complainant and surrendering his passport.
