Sex abuse swimming coach gets suspended sentence
Convicted sex abuser swimming coach Diarmuid “Derry” O’Rourke has been given a suspended sentence for indecently assaulting a young student in the early 1970’s who may have been his first victim.
O’Rourke (aged 64) has previously been jailed for 12 years in 1998 for sexual assault, indecent assault and statutory rape of children. He received further sentences in 2000 and 2005 for sexual abuse of children between the 1970’s and 1992. He was released three and a half years ago.
