Jury finds man not guilty of sexually assaulting babysitter

A retired Limerick firefighter has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting a babysitter at his former homes in Shannon and Limerick.

Michael O’Grady, 59, of Meadowbrook, Corbally, Limerick, had pleaded not guilty at Limerick Circuit Court to 10 counts of indecent assault. The jury returned majority not guilty verdicts on all 10 counts.

On leaving the court, Mr O’Grady said the experience had been traumatic and he was glad and relieved it was all over.
