JURY TO RESUME DELIBERATIONS IN ALLEGED LETTERFRACK ABUSE TRIAL

Date Published: 22-Mar-2013

A jury in the trial of a former Christian Brother charged with indecently assaulting a boy at Letterfrack Industrial School during the 1960's, will resume its deliberations today.

The retired 72 year old primary school teacher denies six charges of indecently assaulting the boy between August 1965 and July 1967.

The jury of six men and six women retired to consider its verdict yesterday afternoon following a two- day trial at Galway Circuit Criminal court.

Judge Rory McCabe sent the jury home for the night when it failed to reach a majority verdict yesterday evening.
