Former Irish Coach Convicted of Abuse | Dublin News

Former Irish swimming coach George Gibney, 77, has been convicted of 39 counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted rape — crimes allegedly committed over 50 years ago against four young girls. After an 11-day trial and seven hours of deliberation, the jury found him guilty, though he had previously pleaded guilty to five counts. Acquitted on one charge, Gibney — extradited from Florida — now faces sentencing on July 29, with the court yet to determine his punishment. The victims’ courage in coming forward has finally brought justice after decades. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
