MRS JUSTICE STACEY:
the Applicant (then aged 57) was convicted of a total of 24 sexual offences: 19 counts of indecent assault on a male person, contrary to section 15(1) Sexual Offences Act 1956, three counts of rape, contrary to section 1(1) Sexual Offences Act 1956, and two counts of indecency with a child, contrary to section 1(1) Indecency with Children Act 1960.
The facts
- First, a conviction in 2016 on guilty pleas of four counts of indecent assault on a male person at the Galway Circuit Court in the Republic of Ireland committed between 1 January 1985 and 31 January 1986 against the same individual, when the complainant was aged 7 and the Applicant was aged 19.
- Secondly, the evidence of C1 that he had been anally raped by the Applicant during the indictment period whilst on holiday in Gran Canaria. The allegation did not appear on the face of the indictment since the alleged offending had been committed outside the jurisdiction.
- Thirdly, the facts of activities with a boy aged 15 (a different boy), which led to a Risk of Sexual Harm Order being imposed on 9 November 2008. The Applicant had sent sexually explicit messages to the young boy and photographs of his penis; some of the messages were set out in the agreed facts before the jury.
- Fourthly, the cross-admissibility of the complainants of each complaint in respect of the case involving the others.
