A former Catholic Brother at De La Salle school was sent to prison for a second time for abusing young boys.

Paul Davey, who served as head of music at the Croxteth school between 1983 and 1989, was jailed for 16 months for sexually assaulting a former pupil.

The 58-year-old had previously served 30 months in prison after being convicted in 1996 of abusing four boys in the late 80s.

Judge David Aubrey, QC, told him: “The purpose and principle and mission of the De La Salle order is to touch the hearts of their students and to inspire them.

“You betrayed that, particularly you betrayed your victim.”

Liverpool Crown Court heard how Davey’s fifth victim stepped forward in 2012 after the death of his mother.
