The man is accused of sexual assault on a date in 2003 but was out of the country for a period

Image: Shutterstock A MAN HAS been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in a Dublin hotel who was asleep after she had already withdrawn consent.

Thomas Headon, 39, with an address at Pearse Street, Dublin 2, is accused of sexual assault on a date in 2003. However, after hearing a summary of the allegations, Judge Smyth refused jurisdiction and held he should send it to the Circuit Court, which has broader sentencing powers. The solicitor said Headon was very drunk and tried to “take a chance” of reawakening sexual activity. However, when she woke up, she made her feelings clear in no uncertain terms, and he absconded.
