A Catholic priest has been sentenced to 22 months’ jail for sexually abusing a teenage boy while was working in Perth 30 years ago.
Father Glenn Humphreys, 61, was found guilty by a District Court jury of four charges of molesting the 15-year-old boy in the 1980s.
The court heard the boy had gone with his mother, a devout Catholic, to the Church where Humphreys was an assistant priest.
Some of the offences took place in the Church’s presbytery, and another at Quinns Rocks where the two had gone on holidays.
The court was told the victim would visit Humphreys in his quarters and they would smoke cigarettes and listen to Barbara Streisand songs.
