Comedian Sylvester "Sil" Fox has been cleared of sexually assaulting a woman in a pub in Dublin city centre.
The case was dismissed today by Judge Paula Murphy because of inconsistencies between the complainant's evidence and CCTV footage shown during the non-jury trial at Dublin District Court.The comedian, who was brought to court by his son Cyril, told reporters he has been through "months of hell." "And I strongly believe the DPP has some serious questions to answer as to why they took this case."

Only for the sheer happenstance of there being good quality CCTV footage available to totally exonerate him an innocent man would be in jail tonight based on an evil woman's lies.
It is fundamentally unjust that defendants, who enjoy the presumption of innocence, are publicly named whereas complainants get to preserve their anonymity.
She should be prosecuted. I hope he sues her for loss of earnings.
Surely it’s entertainer that should be in inverted commas.
