Ex scout leader admitted 'molesting' young boys over 20 years ago but was not prosecuted, court hears

A former Dublin scout leader and convicted sexual abuser admitted “molesting” young boys to gardaí over 20 years ago but was not prosecuted, a court has heard.

In 1997, David O'Brien (67) told gardaí during their investigations into one of the victim's allegations that while he did not recall the alleged offences, he was not denying them.
