THE COURT of Criminal Appeal has quashed the conviction of a Dublin man for sexually assaulting a teenage babysitter and ordered that no retrial take place.
William Canty (57) was jailed for 18 months last December after a jury found him guilty of sexually assaulting the then teenage girl between December 17th, 1995 and May 30th, 1997.
The court said the verdict convicting the applicant on the last remaining count could not be considered safe.
