Jury to deliberate on child assault charges against 73-year-old retired primary teacher
The pensioner, who cannot be named for legal reasons, but with an address in Dublin, had pleaded not guilty to 78 counts of indecent assault, however following legal argument, the number of counts he is facing has been reduced to 72.
In all 13 men, now in their late 40s, have given evidence at Limerick Circuit Court, of repeatedly being touched inappropriately by their teacher in a primary school in the Limerick area on dates ranging from September 1978 to June 1981.
