A former priest has been found guilty of indecently assaulting a secondary school student in the 1980s while working as a choirmaster and music teacher.
Henry Moloney, 77, with an address at Kimmage Manor in Dublin was found guilty at Clonmel Circuit Court last night of seven counts of indecent assault, all of which took place within one school year in the 1980s at Rockwell College outside Cashel.
He will be sentenced on 15 December, following the preparation of a victim impact report, and has been remanded on bail.
An eighth charge, that he indecently assaulted the boy in an area near the boy’s home during a St Stephen’s Day visit during that year, was withdrawn from the jury by Judge Thomas Teehan.
