One of Northern Ireland’s most notorious clerical sex offenders has been charged with child abuse for a fifth time.
Fr Daniel Curran (64) has already been jailed for abusing more than a dozen boys over a 17-year period.
At Downpatrick Magistrates Court yesterday Curran, of Bryansford Avenue, Newcastle, was charged with four further sex offences committed against a child in the 1990s.
He is accused of gross indecency and indecent assault.
Curran allegedly abused the child sometime between August 8, 1990 and August 7, 1995.
At a preliminary enquiry yesterday District Judge Eamon King ruled there was a case to answer.
