The Book of Evidence in the case of a County Clare teacher facing sex offence charges against a teenage girl is due to be served at Ennis District Court today.

The majority of the alleged offence occurred at a County Clare School over an two month period last year.

The 60 year old accused who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Ennis District Court last month charged with committing a total of 14 sexual offences against a teenage girl.

He’s facing seven counts of sexually exploiting the girl, then aged 15, at the school on dates between Tuesday, September 15th and Tuesday, October 20th 2009.

The girl turned 16 during the period of the alleged offences and the man is facing an additional three counts of sexually exploiting her on November 6th and twice on November 12th also at the school.

The 60 year old also faces four further sex offence charges alleged to have occurred at the school and at another location in the county.

Judge Joseph Managan remanded him on conditional bail until today’s sitting of Ennis District Court where the book of evidence in the case is expected to be presented.
