A 45-year-old alleged IRA member is to be sentenced this week after being found guilty of the rape and sexual assault of two boys in the 1990s
45-year-old Seamus Marley, originally from the Ardoyne area of Belfast, but with an address at Belfield Court, Stillorgan Road in Dublin 4, was found guilty by a jury last month of six counts of sexual assault and two counts of rape in relation to the two boys.
He said that when he later found himself in a psychiatric hospital and rang someone from Sinn Féin to get him out to get the help he needed, he knew he was on his own. The court was told that most of the abuse happened in a house where IRA volunteers would be brought in the 1980s and 1990s and stayed for a few days or weeks.
The second man told the court he had been abused by Marley beginning when he was 17 years old. He said he was told by Marley that he could be found dead on a border road, if he told anyone.
