A 54-year-old bisexual window cleaner pleaded guilty to a number of sex assault charges in the Cork Circuit Criminal Court yesterday. The offences occurred between January 1977 and August 1994 and the man, who cannot be named, was apprehended after complaints were made by relatives of one of his victims in June 1995.

Sgt Jeremiah Brosnan said the boys were lured to an attic bedroom to see coins and cowboy books.

Judge Patrick Moran sentenced the defendant to four years' penal servitude.
