A 49-year-old man who was found guilty of carrying out indecent acts with a boy has been jailed for three-and-a-half years. He was also fined €1,160.
Carmel Vella, a convicted sex offender, was also found guilty of exposing himself and holding the boy against his will in 1993 and earlier.
Mr Vella is not related to the boy.
Magistrate Saviour Demicoli took into consideration the seriousness of the crime and that Mr Vella had been previously found guilty of a similar one.
