An associate of two men who murdered abortion doctors in the 1990s was convicted of molesting a Northern Ireland teenager at a home he ran for troubled girls and women in the US.

A 16-year-old girl testified in a US court from Northern Ireland via satellite television that she was molested last year by an activist with ties to past anti-abortion violence.

TESTIMONY will be obtained in Northern Ireland for a child abuse trial of a Florida-based anti-abortion protester , if Britain lets him travel to Belfast.

A man accused of molesting children may travel to Northern Ireland with his lawyer to question a girl who was his alleged victim, but only if authorities in the UK allow the visit.
