A primary school teacher has been convicted of indecently assaulting a 10-year-old pupil in the toilet of a west Dublin school over 20 years ago.
A jury at the Central Criminal Court took just over four hours to find him guilty on five charges of indecent assault after a 10-day trial. The jury found him not guilty on eight charges, including charges of rape, unlawful carnal knowledge and indecent assault. Mr Justice Finnegan remanded the teacher on continuing bail for sentence on July 25th next.
Ms Miriam Reynolds SC, prosecuting, told Mr Justice Finnegan the teacher was due to for sentence next week on similar charges in relation to another girl.
