Man jailed for 'depraved' sexual abuse of brothers

A reformed alcoholic who carried out regular, “depraved and outrageous” sexual assaults on two brothers who had “adopted him as their father” has been jailed for four and half years.

The 66-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identities of his victims, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to 10 counts of indecent assault in the boys' Dublin home on dates between July 1983 and May 1987.
