One of the young women said that Quigley touched her inappropriately after she started coughing. He placed his hands on her shoulder before reaching for her thighs. She said: “I was scared to go to the bus driver because I did not know him. He kept touching on the thigh and the leg. He took out a piece of paper and gave me his phone number. He told me to call him and to send him compliments.”“I felt scared. I did not know what he was going to do. I did not know who this man was or what he would do if he got angry.”

He also said in evidence that he suffered a brain injury thirteen years ago. The brain injury often gives people the impression that he is drunk, he claimed.A jury of four women and eight men found Quigley guilty on all seven counts on the indictment after three hours and twenty eight minutes of deliberations.

The court heard that Quigley is also due to be sentenced on that date in relation to another incident.
