• Court of Appeal rejects appeal in Offaly child sexual abuse case Sexual assault · Co. Offaly

  Patrick Killally, a 49-year-old man from Edenderry, Co Offaly, was convicted by a jury at the Central Criminal Court in 2023 of three counts of sexual assault of a boy aged six to nine between 1992 and 1996 and 40 counts of sexual assault, attempted anal rape, oral rape and anal rape of a second boy aged 12 to 14 between 2005 and 2007. Mr Justice Paul Burns sentenced him to 12 years in prison with the final year suspended on strict conditions in July 2023. Killally, who does not accept the verdicts, launched an appeal against conviction at the Court of Appeal in July 2026, arguing that evidence of a witness confronting him should not have been heard by the jury. The Court of Appeal, presided over by Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy, rejected the appeal in July 2026, finding the evidence highly probative and admissible.
