Dungannon Crown Court - John McVitty A JURY has unanimously cleared a County Fermanagh man of a sexual assault charge, following a two-day trial. Aaron Deering Thomas Brown (39), from Rossfad Road, Ballinamallard, denied committing the offence against a female on August 10, 2017. The complainant told Dungannon Crown Court she was drinking vodka at home from around 9pm with her friend, before a relative drove them to a bar in Enniskillen. There she continued drinking vodka along with Sambuca and Tequila shots, and while she couldn’t be sure how many, she described her condition as “very bad” and couldn’t remember leaving the bar around 2am.
A CONVICTED sex offender who has recently served the equivalent of a six-month prison sentence for multiple instances of indecency is facing a new count of exposure, which allegedly occurred prior to the last matters being dealt with in court. Derek Gault (51), from Sligo Road, Enniskillen, previously denied six separate sets of charges but was found guilty on all counts, which occurred on various dates between January and October, 2020. An appeal was dismissed and Gault served the penalty handed down for these matters as well as an activated suspended sentence for a previous incident, in which he sexually assaulted and exposed himself to a female carer.
