A woman who sexually abused two young boys in a "heinous" way 30 years ago left them "forever scarred", a court has heard.
Josephine McMahon (69) pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to two sample counts of sexually assaulting two brothers at an address in Kerry on dates between 1992 and 1996. The boys were aged between four and five and between eight and 12 respectively at the time of the abuse.
McMahon, of Railway Road, Kenmare, Co Kerry, now suffers from a number of serious medical difficulties and is a wheelchair user, the court heard on Friday. The abuse occurred when the boys were visiting the house she lived in.
