A former Irish rugby international has been convicted of child sex abuse charges.
David Tweed, 53, of Clonavon Terrace in Ballymena, Co Antrim, was found guilty of nine counts of indecent assault and one gross indecency charge.
He has been remanded in custody.
He faced 14 counts of sexually abusing two young girls over an eight-year period from 1988.
The jury of 10 women and two men are continuing their deliberations at Antrim Crown Court on three other charges.
Tweed was cleared of one count of indecent assault yesterday.
The jury foreman said she believed they could reach a majority verdict - on which 10 or more members were agreed - on the three other charges if they were given more time.
Tweed, a father of four who also has two step children, had consistently denied anything improper had happened with the girls, who are now adults.
None of the victims, who had given evidence during the trial, were in the courtroom as the verdicts were given.
Tweed was capped four times for Ireland. He made his debut against France in the 1995 Five Nations competition and played in the Rugby World Cup in South Africa.
He was also a prominent Ulster Rugby star with more than 30 appearances for the team during the 1980s and 1990s.
