A MAN in his 60s has pleaded guilty to 58 counts of indecent assault on five young girls. The man, who is from Kilkenny, had originally pleaded not guilty to a total of 189 counts of indecent assault on nine girls at the start of his trial at Kilkenny Circuit Court on Tuesday.
The man yesterday changed his plea from one of “not guilty” to “guilty” in regard to 58 of the charges against five of the complainants in the trial.
The alleged offences are said to have taken place at two locations in Kilkenny on dates between January 1964 and December 1985.
