Bus driver pleads guilty to sex assaults

A bus driver has pleaded guilty to 11 charges of sexual assault against two sisters during which he tricked them into playing “sweet games” while he abused them.

Leo McFarland had originally pleaded not guilty to 53 charges against sisters Cathy and Caroline Brady in Carndonagh, Co Donegal, when they were children between 1983 and 1985.

However, McFarland, aged 57, dramatically changed his plea and admitted to 11 of the charges against the women.
