A priest accused of voyeurism by spying on a woman in a changing room at Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon has been found not guilty of the charge.

Having heard evidence from the complainant, District Judge Bernie Kelly told Craigavon Magistrates Court on Wednesday (February 8) she had “not been satisfied to the criminal standard” so she was dismissing the single count against Father Aidan McCann.

Fr McCann, with an address at the parochial house on Maddens Row in Keady, had always denied the single charge of voyeurism, alleging that on March 28 last year “for the purpose of sexual gratification, he observed a female doing a private act knowing that the other person did not consent to being observed for your sexual gratification”.
