  • Man sentenced for child sexual abuse in Carlow Indecent assault; gross indecency (child sexual abuse) · Co. Carlow

    William Edgill was a victim of child sexual abuse by Leon Elam Wolff, 70, between July 1976 and October 1980 in Co Carlow. A jury found Wolff guilty on 20 counts of indecent assault and 18 counts of gross indecency. He was sentenced in June 2024 to two and a half years in prison with a further year suspended. Edgill, who waived his right to anonymity, said the cross-examination during the trial felt like being abused all over again after Wolff's counsel disclosed sensitive medical information.
