SHANE HICKEY LONDON – 04 MAY 2013
A FORMER priest, who was exposed in the Murphy Report as a serial sex abuser, is expected to be extradited from the UK to Ireland to face a raft of indecent-assault charges.
A judge in London yesterday ordered that Bill Carney be sent back to Ireland, where he is expected to be charged with 34 offences.
The 73-year-old was described in the 2009 Murphy report into clerical abuse as “a serial sexual abuser of children, male and female”.
He pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting two altar boys and was given the Probation Act in 1983. He was defrocked in 1992. Since then he has been living in England and Spain.
