A Derry man has appeared at the city’s Magistrates Court charged with raping his partner.
The 57-year-old, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the alleged victim, faced two charges of rape which are alleged to have occurred between 4 and 5 September last year.
A prosecuting lawyer told the court the accused was in a relationship with the alleged victim who was described as a “vulnerable witness.”
A PSNI officer told the court he could connect the accused to the charges.
Releasing the accused on bail to appear in court again on 12 June next, Resident Magistrate Barney McElholm ordered him not to make contact with the alleged injured party and told him not to enter the street where she lived.
