A man who was at the centre of a sex charge affair that rocked the Republic’s anti-abortion laws 10 years ago was jailed in Dublin today after being convicted of a second sex crime.

The 52-year-old Dubliner received a 14-year jail term for having unlawful carnal knowledge in 1992 of a 14-year-old girl, who became pregnant. The sentence, which followed what became known as the X-case was later reduced to four years.
