He was acquitted of two counts of assault of a child by penetration.

In the 2000’s, Brady, who was a minor himself when the offences happened, sexually assaulted and abused a child over a number of years.

Brady was voluntarily interviewed in 2022 and was charged on April 29 last year.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Lucy McDonagh, of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: “The victim in this case has shown incredible strength and resilience to come forward and report the abuse.

“Perpetrators of sexual abuse towards children must be warned that no matter the passage of time, you will be investigated and held accountable.”
