A third teenager was also found not guilty of false imprisonment of the same girl today

A local detective told Garrett Baker SC, prosecuting, that the young girl was 15-years-old at the time when she agreed to meet with the defendant, who was two years older.

Fergus Delaney (61) of Allendale Lawn, Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court in advance of his trial to four charges of sexual assault of the then 14-year-old girl on dates between 2000 and 2001.
