Psychiatrist to give evidence in Westmeath child-abuse case
The sentence of a Westmeath man for sexually assaulting three young girls has been adjourned by Judge Joseph Matthews at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court so that he can hear evidence from a psychiatrist.
The 44-year-old man was convicted by a jury on May 17 last of having sexually assaulted the girls, aged seven to 11 years, at north Dublin and Roscommon addresses variously on April 16 and September 10, 2002, and on May 1, 2005.
