A retired cameraman who sexually assaulted his teenage step-daughter 30 years ago in an “egregious breach of trust” has been jailed for 12 months.
Tony Byrne (66) of Carriglea Court, Firhouse, Dublin 24, was found guilty by a jury last month of one count of sexually assaulting Donna McCarthy, then Byrne, at the same address on May 10, 1992.
Ms McCarthy previously waived her right to anonymity to allow Byrne to be named. The court was also told that Byrne retired last year and had worked as a cameraman for RTÉ and Virgin Media.
