A FORMER priest who indecently assaulted five boys 30 years ago has been given an 18-month jail sentence.
The 76-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to five counts of indecent assault between 1979 and 1981. The court heard two 11-year-old boys were invited into the accused’s house on the premise of delivering leaflets and were abused.
A 13-year-old boy was indecently assaulted after being photographed for a parish magazine. One victim, aged about 12 years old, was abused at school.
