Timothy denied performing sexual acts on the teenager and claimed they watched pornography together and had masturbated while sitting apart.
Following the verdict, Phillip said in a statement: “My overwhelming concern is and has always been for the wellbeing of the victim and his family. I hope that their privacy will now be respected.
“If any crime had ever been confessed to me by my brother, I would have acted immediately to protect the victim and their family.
