Prosecutors have finished preparing evidence for the bestiality case against a Dublin woman accused of engaging in a sex act with a Rottweiler dog. The woman, 29, is accused of a single offence contrary to section 61 of the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act. Interim reporting restrictions preventing the media from identifying the accused were imposed when the case first came before Dublin District Court in June. Although there was no legislative provision, the court had discretion to impose reporting restrictions, the solicitor said. Legal aid was granted after the solicitor said that the woman was a suitable candidate and was on social welfare.
