New charges brought against Ceannt Station rape accused
Wed, Sep 23, 2026
Additional charges of sexual assault have been proffered against two Jordanian men already accused of the rape and false imprisonment of a woman at Ceannt Station on August 1 last.
Both defendants appeared in person before Judge Fiona Lydon at Galway District Court on Wednesday, September 23. An Arabic interpreter was in court to assist with translating the proceedings. The two men arrived in custody from prison.
Before the court on Wednesday, both defendants were formally arrested just after 11am on the new sexual assault charges which, it will be alleged, took place on August 1 at Victoria Place, Galway. The rapes and false imprisonment are alleged to have taken place at Ceannt Station on the same date.
