A man has pleaded guilty to a sexual assault in west Donegal.
The man, who is in his 70s, tendered a guilty plea in respect of the charge when he appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court.
The accused, who cannot be named for legal reasons at this point, was charged that on a date between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010 he did sexually assault a named woman at a specified location.
The man spoke only to plead guilty as he was formally arraigned in court.
He was represented by barrister Mr Colm Smyth SC, who asked that a probation report be prepared.
Judge John Aylmer adjourned the matter until the next session of Letterkenny Circuit Court.
