Cases
latest first- Former soldier sentenced for sexually abusing three boys in Dublin Sexual abuse (of children) · Co. Dublin
Michael McGuinness, a 61-year-old man, sexually abused three boys aged between seven and 13 over an 11-year period between 1979 and 1990 in the Crumlin area of Dublin, with the abuse occurring in his car and home. Two of the three victims were brothers. In 2019, one complainant met McGuinness through work and reported him to gardaí, and he immediately admitted the abuse; he later pleaded guilty to five counts of indecently assaulting the boys. On 15 March 2022, Judge Melanie Greally at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court sentenced him to consecutive terms totalling three years, with the final 12 months suspended on strict conditions and the sentence backdated to November 2021.
