The unnamed Dublin man was jailed for seven years for sexual assaults at the Central Criminal Court on 11 June 2020. The offences against 14 children occurred between May 1994 and February 2001. He had previously pleaded guilty to assaults on ten victims and was convicted by a jury of 30 further counts involving four girls. Justice Tara Burns imposed consecutive sentences for the four victims. The man cannot be named because some victims wish to retain their statutory anonymity.

The court heard that he had been in custody since March 2018 after extradition from the UK. Three victims provided impact statements, including one who said the man would no longer hold power over them.
