Malta Independent

The priests’ sexual abuse appeal judgement is expected on 26 October after Mr Justice David Scicluna listened to the submissions made by the prosecution and defence, in three separate sittings.

The last sitting was held yesterday morning.

Godwin Scerri and Carmel Pulis, two former priests, were last August sentenced to five years and six years in jail respectively for the sexual abuse of boys who were living at Dar San Gużepp, Sta Venera.

Mr Pulis was found guilty of abusing nine boys, Mr Scerri of corrupting two boys.
