Priest in 80s seeks to prevent trial
One In Four Wednesday, December 7, 2005
A retired schoolteacher and priest in his 80s has brought High Court proceedings aimed at preventing his trial on 37 charges of indecent buttault of three former pupils.
Neither the man nor the school can be named for legal reasons. The DPP is opposing the application.
Deirdre Murphy SC, for the applicant, said the alleged buttaults were said to have occurred between 1974 and 1981. She submitted that the delay between the alleged buttaults, the making of the complaints and her client's prosecution would prejudice his right to a fair trial and had breached his right to a trial with reasonable expedition.
The lack of specificity and detail in the complaints reduced the defence to one of a simple denial of the allegations, and this compounded the real risk of an unfair trial, Ms Murphy argued.
The hearing continues today before Mr Justice Roderick Murphy.
