Former ********** Brother guilty of **** ****** charges

A former teacher and school principal accused of historical child **** ****** has been found guilty.

Paul Dunleavy, with an address at Glen Road in Belfast, was convicted of 36 charges of historical ******* ******.

The offences are alleged to have been committed on dates between 1964 and 1991 while the 88-year-old former ********** Brother worked at four schools in Belfast, Newry and Armagh.

The charges included indecent ******** and ****** indecency with or towards a child.

After five hours of deliberation, the jury unanimously found Dunleavy guilty of 34 of the 36 charges.

A short time after being directed by the judge that he would accept a majority verdict on the remaining two counts, the jury returned.

They found Dunleavy guilty of the two remaining charges by an 11-1 majority.

The jury of six men and six women had already been told that Dunleavy had been convicted on two separate occasions of a series of ******* offences against children in his care at a number of schools where he taught.

He is due to be sentenced on 25 October.
