    Looney Fr Horan walks free on child abuse charges

    Marathon priest found not guilty of indecency with young girl



    13:29 Thursday October 28th 2004



    The former Irish priest who interrupted the Olympic marathon earlier this year has been found not guilty of gross indecency with a young girl in Britain.
    A jury at the Old Bailey in London took just an hour to acquit 57-year-old Neil Horan, a native of Co Kerry who lives in Britain.

    He had been accused of chasing a young girl around a room while naked.

    Horan maintained it was an innocent misunderstanding and that his actions were not sexual.

    ************************************************** *****************************

    Obviously this was a very weak case if the jury took only a short length of time. Apparently the evidence of the 'victim' and her mother, who witnessed the attack, was very contradictory and the jury couldn't buy it....
    He celebrated by dressing up in his irish dancing gear and holding an impromptu press conference outside the Old Bailey...I kid you not.

    "chasing a young girl around a room while naked"


    Must have been a try on, as this is fairly obvious. He was either chasing her while naked or not. Ther is no real "grey" area there......

    Apparently the mother and daughter couldn't agree whether or not he was wearing a pair of 'luminous green' underpants at the time...
