A woman who was indecently assaulted as a child came forward recently to report the 40-year-old offence when the 81-year-old man contacted her daughter on social media.

Former Jehovah's Witness elder, Josef Keys of Hazelwood Close, Glanmire, County Cork, faced sentencing yesterday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court for the indecent assault dating back approximately 40 years when the child was aged six to eight.
