A 34-year-old man was remanded in custody when he appeared at Derry Magistrates Court this afternoon charged with raping a woman in the city at the weekend.
James Frickleton, of no fixed abode, was charged with committing the offence at St Columb’s Park in the Waterside area of the city in the early hours of yesterday morning.
He was also charged with carrying out a serious sexual assault on the woman.
A PSNI detective constable told the court she could connect the accused to the charges.
During a three-minutre hearing, defence solicitor, Seamus Quigley, told the court there would be no application for bail as the accused had only come to Derry from “down south” in the past week.
Frickleton was remanded in custody to appear in court again on 13 November next via video link.
