The Court of Criminal Appeal has dismissed an appeal brought by a Dublin man against his conviction for falsely accusing a priest of child sexual abuse.
Last June, following a 17 day trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court Paul Anderson (34) of Crumlin Park, Crumlin, and formerly of Fatima Mansions and Iveagh Trust Flats, New Bride Street, Dublin was jailed for four years, by Judge Patricia Ryan, for making the false complaint.
