Burglar gets seven years for sexual assault of children

An alcoholic burglar has been jailed for seven years by Mr Justice Paul Carney for sexually assaulting two children while their mother spoke with neighbours a short distance from their Dublin home.

Peter O'Gorman (aged 40), a father-of-two of Mantua Park, Swords broke into the house thinking it was empty and stole gold jewellery, house keys and two mobile phones before he sexually assaulted the young boy and girl, who were left unsupervised for 10 minutes.
