Actor Arrested for Alleged Rape in Dublin

A South Florida actor, Kevin Yungman, is facing extradition to Ireland following allegations of raping a 19-year-old au pair in Dublin in 2018. Yungman, 31, was apprehended by U.S. Marshals after Irish authorities issued a warrant for his arrest. The alleged incident occurred after Yungman met the victim during a trip to Paris and later traveled to Ireland to visit her, where the assault reportedly took place at an Airbnb on June 4, 2018. The victim reported the incident to Irish authorities, providing evidence including a WhatsApp message from Yungman that stated, "nothing like this will ever happen again." Following the report, Yungman was arrested two days later while attempting to board a flight. In February 2020, the Irish Director of Public Prosecutions ordered that Yungman be charged with rape, which could lead to a life sentence if he is convicted under Irish law. Yungman has a background in performing arts, having won multiple national singing competitions and participated in a Broadway tour. He appeared in the 2012 film "Step Up Revolution" and the 2014 television series "Killer Kids." In addition to his acting career, he is a motivational speaker and has maintained a YouTube channel since 2010, where he offers vocal coaching services. As the extradition process unfolds, Yungman's legal situation remains precarious, with significant implications for his future should he be found guilty of the charges against him.
