The 39-year-old was found guilty of the attack
Former Celtic player Paddy McCourt has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in a bar last year.
The court was also told that as part of their investigation into the allegation, the PSNI sought and was granted a warrant under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 enabling investigators to carry out a secret mobile phone examination and surveillance of the defendant’s mobile phone traffic in the immediate aftermath of the complaint being made against him.
“There is no way I went anywhere near her, near her bum, her leg or anywhere else. I did not witness anyone touching a female, nor did I. I can’t actually remember this being any issue that night”, he told the District Judge. Delivering his guilty verdict, Mr Magill he’d given careful consideration to both the evidence and statements submitted to him. He said while DNA represented a great scientific advancement, it was not infallible.
