TYRONE MAN JAILED FOR DECADES-OLD CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
A man from Artigarvan, Tyrone, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for committing serious sexual offenses against a 14-year-old girl.
The offender, 45-year-old David Haire, was convicted of one rape charge and two indecent assault counts related to abuse that took place between 2000 and 2002.
The sentencing took place at Dungannon Crown Court, where Haire was also subject to a Sexual Offences Protection Order and will be listed on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period.
