Paedophile surgeon, 86, jailed for four years for sexually assaulting seven boys over three decades

A paedophile surgeon has been caged for four years after he was convicted of sexually assaulting seven boys over three decades.
Michael Shine, 86, of Ballsbridge, Dublin, appeared at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court at 1pm today.
During the short sentencing, which lasted just five minutes, Judge Martin Nolan told the court: “It is well decided by precedence that age is no bar to a prison sentence.”
The judge said that during the course of a four week trial Shine showed “no expression of remorse whatsoever”.
He added: “The defendant was a doctor at the time and in a position of trust.
Shine arrived to court alone this morning, dressed in suit trousers and beige jumper and anorak.
He wore a peaked cap which he removed as he walked slowly through a packed courtroom to take a seat in the dock.
On February 9 a jury found the disgraced doctor guilty of 13 indecent assaults committed during medical examinations at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, Co Louth and at two private clinics in Drogheda on dates between 1971 to 1992.
On day 17 of the trial, a jury of two women and eight men returned guilty verdicts, having deliberated for just over six hours.
