The unnamed Kerry man was found guilty of indecent assault at the Central Criminal Court, reported on 28 April 2015. He was convicted on eight of 11 counts relating to alleged abuse between January 1971 and December 1974, while the jury disagreed on the remaining three counts.

The court heard that the offences mainly occurred at the man’s house in Kerry, with one incident alleged at another relative’s home. He will be sentenced on 8 May; the defence sought leniency because of his age, lack of previous convictions and family circumstances.
