A FORMER school teacher will be sentenced next week for the indecent assault of eight boys over 30 years ago at a private Dublin school.
Peter Kelly, 73, of Booterstown Park, Booterstown, was convicted by a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury following a two-week trial in November.
He pleaded not guilty to 28 counts of indecently assaulting the boys at Willow Park School, Rock Road, Blackrock, Dublin, on dates in the 70s and 80s. The school is run by the Spiritan order of priests.
Kelly was convicted on all charges. The eight victims are now aged in their early 50s. Judge Elma Sheahan heard the victim impact statements of each of the men that had been abused by Kelly.
