A Co Carlow man who sexually abused his nephew has been jailed for six and a half years.
The 58-year-old man, who cannot be identified to protect his victim's identity, was convicted by a jury following a trial at the Central Criminal Court last month of two counts of indecent assault against the boy in Co Carlow on dates between October 1985 and March 1986.
The accused man was acquitted of eight further counts of indecent assault of the victim, who is now in his 40s.
