Man (64) is returned for trial on multiple rape charges

A MAN has been returned for trial on allegations of multiple rapes, kidnap and false imprisonment.

Appearing for a committal hearing was Seamus Quinn (64), from Aghaherrish Road, Enniskillen, who is accused of 23 charges comprising seven counts of rape, two sexual assaults, two of kidnapping, three false imprisonment and four of administering a noxious substance to injure or aggrieve.

There are also two counts each of assault and administering a substance to commit a sexual offence, as well as a single count of threatening to kill.

Offending is alleged to have occurred on dates between October 21 and 27, 2019.

A prosecuting lawyer told Enniskillen Magistrates Court there is a case to answer, which was agreed by District Judge Steven Keown.

Quinn did not object to the proceedings and declined to call witnesses or give evidence on his own behalf at this stage.

Judge Keown remanded him on £500 bail to appear for arraignment before

Dungannon Crown Court next month.

Quinn was further ordered to sign weekly with police, have no contact by any means with the complainant and refrain from entering the area of her home.
