A former Franciscan friar has pleaded guilty at Wexford Circuit Court to the sexual assault of a young girl. The 66-year-old, who has been laicised for 10 years, is charged with eight counts of indecent assault of a girl aged between nine and 12.

He pleaded guilty to the offences, which occurred between 1972 and 1974.

Judge Alice Doyle adjourned sentencing and requested reports from probation services and a treatment centre, as well as a victim impact statement.
