TV 3

A former Christian Brother who indecently assaulted three boys at the North Monastery school in Cork has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Edward Bryan was found guilty on eight charges of indecent assault in the 1980s. The 59-year-old former principal and basketball coach abused the boys during one-on-one training sessions in the school gym.

The victims now in their 30s gave emotional evidence in court this morning – they said Bryan “zeroed in on them and preyed on them.”
