Priest jailed for sex assault on sisters

A Catholic priest was jailed today for indecently assaulting three sisters at their home in the North more than 40 years ago after befriending their parents.

At the time, Father Eugene Lewis, now aged 76, was based at the College of the Society of Missionaries of Africa, which was also known at the Order of the White Fathers in Blacklion, Co Cavan, when he abused the young girls in Co Fermanagh between 1963 and 1973.
