Sentence put back for man who abused brother

A man who was 17 when he buggered his then 13-year-old brother and forced him to perform oral sex on him, has had his sentence adjourned to July 12 by Judge Desmond Hogan.

The 25-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to three counts of buggery and one of sexual assault on the boy between July 1, 1996 and April 24, 1998.
