The Longford ex-hotelier who unsuccessfully tried to buy off a family with €50,000 to drop a criminal complaint against his paedophile son did so just two years after exiting bankruptcy.
The victim of a paedophile teacher who engaged in multiple acts of defilement and sexual exploitation against her when she was 13 has taken civil legal proceedings against him.
A former hotelier whose son was jailed for the sexual exploitation and grooming of a 13-year-old girl attempted to pay €50,000 to her father to get the case dropped.
