A FERMANAGH priest convicted of sexually assaulting three young sisters has had some of his convictions overturned.
New evidence was produced at the Appeals Court in Belfast regarding the conviction of Father Eugene Lewis of the White Fathers Order and three sisters from County Fermanagh.
The case ran for four weeks in 2011, following which Father Lewis was convicted of eleven charges of indecent assault. However, after the charges were appealed, the Court upheld eight of the charges but ruled that three others were unsafe.
The Court of Appeal considered the matters and handed down a ruling which was published by the Court Service of Northern Ireland this week.
