A paedophile scout leader who sexually abused his 13-year-old neighbour, was jailed for three months after he said he could not remember the incidents but fully accepts his guilt.
Mr Bracken told gardaí he didn’t know what was going on. Leddy told the child not to tell anyone or he would tell his parents that he’d been smoking. On Tuesday, Ms Murphy said Leddy is aware of the emotional and mental torment he caused Mr Bracken and is “genuinely remorseful that he has caused this”.
He was hospitalised at different times during which he was on suicide watch and Mr Bracken also spoke in his statement of how he found the “trial process unbelievably hard and distressing”. The judge also considered that the abuse occurred at a time in Ireland when there was “much repression and secrecy in relation to sexual matters”.
