A former school principal and priest has been remanded in custody after being found guilty of indecently assaulting a boy in Waterford over 30 years ago.
Con Desmond, 77, with an address at Woodlands, Kilrush Road, Ennis, denied 13 charges of indecent assault between 1977 and 1980 at the St Stephen’s De La Salle national school in Waterford city.
Barrister Elaine Morgan, representing Desmond, applied for sentencing to be adjourned until 19 February.
This was granted by Judge Donagh McDonagh to allow for the preparation of character evidence and medical evidence.
