A hospital groundsman convicted five years ago of the repeated rape of his wife s two sons can be named for the first time this week after the lifting of a court gagging order.
In 2015 Paul Gregory (56) of Lucky Brook house, Cronroe, Ashford, Co Wicklow pleaded guilty to 205 counts of rape and sexual assault of his wife s two sons at his Co Wicklow home. The victims were under 10 years old when the abuse started in 1993 and the attacks continued for a decade.
Gregory had previously worked as a groundsman at Newcastle Psychiatric Hospital and was suspended when the allegations first emerged.
