Retired Brother (65) charged with assault

A 65-year-old retired Brother of Charity has appeared in court charged with 15 counts of indecent assault and one of attempted indecent assault on three special needs boys at a hospital in the south east between 1968 and 1980.  The boys were in their mid-teens when the offences were alleged to have occurred.

The man was brought before Waterford District Court, which heard an application by gardaí to remand the man on bail for six weeks to allow for the preparation of the Book of Evidence.

Judge Peter Smithwick made an order prohibiting the publication of the names of the accused man and the alleged victims.  He remanded the accused on his own bail of €2,500 to appear at the same court on 14 October next.
