Walsh accuser has sentence appeal adjourned

The appeal brought by a former dance teacher against his six-month jail sentence for making false allegations that he was sexually assaulted by 'X Factor' judge Louis Walsh, has been adjourned.

Leonard Watters (aged 24), a father-of-two from Woodview, Navan, Co. Meath, was given a six-month term in January at Dublin District Court but was released within minutes after he lodged papers to appeal the sentence.
