In 1994 Ireland's National Olympic SWim coach and head of the National Swimming Association. An 'esteemed' member of many government bodies with many friends in high places, was charged with multiple counts of rape and molestation fo multiple children, boys and girls. He had managed to play his perverted role of child raping pederast and esteemed national figure for almost 3 decades. He had bullied, coerced and manipulated his child victims into silence even though several of them ahd complained over and over before, no-one had bothered to listen.
He destroyed Olympic standard hopefuls. Shattered dreams and lives of whole families. He is a monster. The worst kind because he is still out there.
In 1994 he fled Ireland immediately after he won a court injunction (a loophole in the law now closed). His was the first of the many child-abuse cases to go to trial in Ireland's sordid history of child-abuse.
