GP loses appeal against indecent assault verdict

A Cork GP found guilty of indecently assaulting a 15-year-old female patient 26 years ago has lost an appeal against conviction.

Kevin Mulcahy, aged 57, of Creggan, Lombardstown, Mallow, Co Cork, had pleaded not guilty to a single charge of indecently assaulting the girl while on call to her family home on December 23, 1989.

He was found guilty by a jury after a retrial at Cork Circuit Criminal Court following 39 minutes of deliberations and he was jailed for two years by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin on November 25, 2015.
