A man has been arrested by the PSNI on suspicion of sexual assault as police in the US investigate an alleged incident during a recent Armagh GAA trip to Florida.

The PSNI confirmed on Wednesday that detectives arrested a 30-year-old man on Tuesday on suspicion of sexual assault and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

The man has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.

A group went to Miami in November to celebrate the team’s All-Ireland win.

In a statement released by solicitor Patrick Higgins from Donnelly and Wall Solicitors, the lawyer confirmed: “My client voluntarily presented himself to the PSNI yesterday to be interviewed.

“He co-operated fully with the PSNI in the initial stages of the investigation.”

“He is innocent of all charges and vows to do everything in his power to clear his name.”
