A woman in her 20s was arrested by gardaí in connection with an alleged deception against University College Dublin (UCD). The arrest occurred on Tuesday afternoon in Dublin city centre and was made under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. The woman was detained at a south Dublin garda station and could be questioned for up to 24 hours. Gardaí confirmed that the arrest was related to alleged deception against a third-level institution, though no charges were filed, and a file has been prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. During the investigation, electronic devices were seized as part of the process. The arrest appears to be linked to a broader legal dispute involving a UCD medical student who alleges she was raped by a fellow student. The student initially sued UCD over its handling of her academic progression, claiming the university failed to provide reasonable accommodations after the alleged assault and subsequent pregnancy. This led to a difficult choice between continuing her studies and accessing necessary healthcare. The university denied these claims, asserting that it had made significant efforts to support the student and was justified in requiring her to follow an academic plan before advancing through her medical degree. In April, the High Court dismissed the student's case, ruling that UCD had acted lawfully and had not violated its own policies or discriminated against the student. The court emphasized that the university had made substantial efforts to assist the student and was entitled to enforce academic requirements. However, the student appealed the decision, and the Court of Appeal heard arguments from both sides on Tuesday, with judgment reserved. The student’s legal team argued that the university had misinterpreted its own academic regulations, particularly regarding the application of extenuating circumstances and the imposition of an academic plan. The controversy surrounding the student’s case escalated in early 2025 when UCD reported that a graphic photo of the student, taken without her consent following the alleged rape, was circulated among more than 170 academic staff and students. The image was sent via anonymous, encrypted Proton email addresses and shared extensively within student group chats. This incident drew public attention, especially after it was raised in the Dáil by Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger, who described the image as depicting the student as “nude, bruised and unconscious.” The student later claimed she was raped in February 2023 but had not reported the incident to gardaí at the time. Following the alleged assault, the student struggled academically, failing several modules and missing exams. In October 2023, UCD granted her six IX (extenuating circumstances) grades after acknowledging that exceptional circumstances had impacted her performance. Despite this, the university required her to follow an academic plan to remediate the failed modules. The student argued that this requirement was unjustified and that the university had not properly consulted her before implementing the plan. Her legal representatives contended that the award of IX grades effectively reset the academic clock, making it inappropriate for the university to rely on her previous academic record when determining her eligibility for further study. UCD’s legal team countered that the IX grades served as placeholders and did not dictate the amount of work required to complete the course. They maintained that the university had consistently sought to support the student through academic mentors, advisers, and structured academic plans. According to Feichín McDonagh SC, representing UCD, the university had been aware of the student’s academic struggles for months and had made repeated attempts to assist her. He emphasized that the award of IX grades did not equate to a reduction in workload and that the university was within its rights to impose an academic plan based on its internal regulations. The garda investigation into the alleged deception began last year after UCD informed authorities about the circulation of the graphic image. During the investigation, the woman in her 20s was questioned in relation to potentially fraudulent documentation supplied to UCD. Gardaí conducted a search and seized electronic devices as part of the inquiry. While the woman was released without charge, the investigation remains ongoing, with further developments anticipated as the legal proceedings unfold.

RTÉ NewsDržavni / javniSredinaČinjenice 85Objektivnost 85prije 10 dana Žena ostaje u pritvoru zbog UCD istrage prevareŽena u dvadesetim godinama trenutno je u pritvoru i ispituje je irska policija (gardaí) zbog navodnog pružanja lažnih dokumenata Sveučilišnom koledžu u Dublinu (UCD). Istraga proizlazi iz slučaja u kojem je medicinska studentica tvrdila da je silovana prije tri godine, što je dovelo do širenja eksplicitne fotografije bez njenog pristanka. Ovaj incident navodno je utjecao na njezine akademske rezultate, što je dovelo do potrebe da ponovno pohađa nekoliko modula. Ona je osporila odluku UCD-a da joj zahtijeva ponovno pohađanje ovih modula, tvrdeći da joj sveučilište nije pružilo odgovarajuće smještajne usluge zbog njene traume i naknadne trudnoće. Međutim, Visoki sud presudio je u korist UCD-a, navodeći da su poduzete mjere zakonite i prikladne. Student je od tada podnio žalbu na odluku na Žalbenom sudu, koji je nedavno saslušao argumente, ali još uvijek nije donio presudu.
