He was convicted despite evidence that the complainant had tried to blackmail him to pay her cash to buy a house in 2005 or she would make a complaint to gardaí about the historical indecent assault allegation.

After almost three hours of evidence at Cork District Court yesterday, Judge Aingeal Ní Chondúin convicted the accused on the charge. Sentencing was put back for a week.
