60-year-old John Shea McInnis faces counts of sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching involving a person under the age of 16.

MacInnis is accused of committing the offences between January of 2000 and December of 2006.

During his trial in June,MacInnis’ wife and two daughters sharply contradicted the evidence of the complainant who’s now 22.

Her name is banned from publication along with any information that could identify her.
