Christian Brother not guilty of indecent assault

A retired Christian Brother has been found not guilty by direction of Judge Frank O'Donnell at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court of indecently assaulting a young girl some 40 years ago.

Judge O'Donnell said that although he had no doubt the complainant in the case suffered at the hands of someone, there was no evidence that it was the accused whom he directed the jury to acquit following a four-day trial.
