A 32-year-old Ecuadorian man has appeared in court in County Cavan, Ireland charged with operating a male brothel

Appearing before Cavan District Court, Xavier Salazar Valencia was charged with keeping a brothel in Cavan town. Valencia was then remanded on bail to appear at Cavan District Court on July 14, 2011. Garda Sergeant James Fraher, of Cavan garda station, told the court that he met with the accused, cautioned him and charged him. There was an interpreter present and Valencia understood what was happening. Sgt Fraher told Judge John Coughlan that he was seeking a remand on the defendant's own bail of €200 and that the defendant was to live in North King Street, Dublin. Valencia was to surrender his passport and not enter the District Court area except for legal consultations and court appearances. Sgt Fraher told the court that Valencia, an Ecuadorian national, was travelling on a Spanish passport. Judge Coughlan said that the defendant was a "pimp" and told defense solicitor Brid Mimnagh she was entitled to a full disclosure order.
