A PRIEST who was convicted of sexually abusing three Fermanagh sisters more than 40 years ago is attempting to clear this name
Fr Eugene Lewis was jailed for four years in September 2010 for 11 counts of indecent assault.
He denied the abuse, which was said to have been carried out in County Fermanagh between 1963 and 1973.
Fr Lewis has already successfully appealed three of the 11 counts he was found guilty of committing in November 2011 and last year the was freed after having his sentence reduced to two years and nine months on foot of this.
Last week senior judges in Belfast refused Fr Lewis’ application to go before the Supreme Court on the remaining counts.
