Famous Irish sports star 'won't face charges' over alleged rape at Dublin hotel

A famous Irish sports star who allegedly raped a woman at a Dublin hotel in December 2018 will 'not face charges' according to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The sports person was arrested by Gardai in January 2019 in relation to the alleged incident which was said to have happened at a southside hotel.

The man presented himself to Dundrum Garda Station one month after the alleged rape which took place on December 10, 2018 but was released without charge, Dublin Live reports.

And the Irish celebrity being investigated over the rape claim will not face any charges, it has been revealed in this morning's The Irish Daily Star.

The DPP gave the direction this week following concerns that the case over the complaint would not convince a jury.

It is understood that the same well known sports star was also investigated for an alleged sexual assault of a woman near a west Dublin pub in October 2019.
