Philip Murphy (39), from Clondalkin, was arrested in London last July on a European Arrest Warrant on charges of false imprisonment and sexual assault. Murphy had been released only the day before from Arbour Hill Prison, where he was sentenced to 10 years for falsely imprisoning a Polish woman in Clondalkin on June 7, 2008.
