A Catholic priest who unlawfully and indecently assaulted a teenager in Perth 30 years ago has been sentenced to 22 months in jail.
Glenn Humphreys was found guilty of four counts of unlawful and indecent assault but acquitted of carnal knowledge against the order of nature in August.
The 61-year-old admitted having an “inappropriate” sexual relationship with the boy, who is now aged 45, but told the court their actions were consensual.
District Court Judge Philip Eaton said given his age, Humphreys would have known his behaviour was “grossly inappropriate”.
