A BBC journalist based in Derry has been charged with rape.
Sean O’Halloran, from Northland Road in the city, works at Radio Foyle.
The 29-year-old faced Derry Magistrates’ Court today accused of raping a woman in May 2014.
The journalist faces two additional charges of sexual assault on the same date.
A prosecution lawyer told the district judge that she believed the defendant had a case to answer.
When asked if he had anything to say to the charges, he replied “no”.
Released on continuing bail of £500, O’Halloran must reside at Northland Road and must not contact the complainant or any other prosecution witnesses.
He will appear at Derry Crown Court on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 to be arraigned on all three charges.
