	Former Priest Pleads Guilty to Sex Assaults One in Four November 17, 2007 http://www.oneinfour.org/news/news2007/kerryoffences/ IRELAND — A former priest yesterday pleaded guilty at the Circuit Criminal Court in Tralee, Co Kerry, to 53 counts of indecent assault against three females and two males. The offences occurred in Co Kerry between 1965 and 1973 and there were 32 counts of indecent assault on one of the boys and 16 on one of the girls. The court was told the victims were all from one family. They did not wish to be identified and naming the accused would identify them, prosecuting counsel Tom Rice said. However, Judge Carroll Moran said the idea that no one knew who they were locally was likely to be a bit of a myth. He granted the application but said it was "very undesirable to have secrecy about a case as a matter of principle". He granted the application but said he may review his decision on January 21st when the case will come up again.
