Priest guilty of sexual assaulting schoolboy 36 years ago

A jury took less than two hours to reach a unanimous guilty verdict in the case of a priest sexually assaulting a schoolboy in Cork approximately 36 years ago.

The jury of nine men and three women returned to Courtroom 1 at the courthouse on Washington St, Cork, before 3pm with their unanimous guilty verdict.

The 74-year-old priest had denied indecently assaulting the boy at a school in Co Cork early in the 1980s.
