Sex Offender Jailed For Seven Years
A convicted sex offender has been jailed for seven years at Londonderry Crown Court.
Retired builder John Bradley abused three young girls over a 13 year period.
Bradley, from Mettican Road in Garvagh, was found guilty in October of 22 charges including one of attempted rape.
He has now been placed on the sex offenders register and been subjected to the terms of a sexual offenders prevention order for life.
The abuse began in 1981 when the victims were all at primary school.
Union Flag Protests 'Thuggish Rioting' - Judge
A High Court judge has described the ongoing violence over the union flag at Belfast City Hall as "thuggish rioting".
Mr Justice McCloskey was responding to allegations that a teenager threw bricks at officers and kicked a PSNI vehicle.
18-year-old Johnathan McClelland of Tavanagh Street, Belfast, faces a charge of riotous behaviour.
McClelland has admitted his involvement. His defence said he had been initially at a peaceful protest but had been caught up in the violence.
But the judge has taken issue with the word ‘protest'. He said: "The reality of the vast majority of this kind of behaviour is that it is thuggish rioting, there is no other way of approaching it."
