A FORMER student priest has been found guilty by a jury of the sexual assault of a 10-year-old boy in Galway city over 35 years ago.
Gerard Cleere, Kilkenny, who was extradited from Leicester in England last December to stand trial, had denied he buggered the child on an unknown date between January 1st, 1973, and December 30th, 1974. He did, however, plead guilty before Galway Circuit Criminal Court to indecent assault.
