A former priest has been convicted at the Central Criminal Court of orally raping a child in his parish 10 years ago.

A former priest has been convicted of orally raping a child in his parish 10 years ago.

The 63-year-old is already serving a lengthy sentence for sexually abusing a different child six years ago.

A Central Criminal Court jury on Thursday convicted him of six counts of oral rape, defilement and sexual assault in his home between 2005 and 2006.

The victim was aged between 10 and 11 at the time. The man had denied the charges.

The trial heard the priest befriended the boy before starting to invade his personal space and make sexual comments.
