Notorious paedophile priest Vincent Gerard Ryan has been given a 15-month suspended sentence after pleading guilty to sex offences in the New South Wales Hunter region from the 1980s.
The former Catholic priest pleaded guilty to acts of gross indecency and attempting sexual intercourse with a boy at a church in Gresford near Dungong, when he was parish priest.
His victim was an altar boy in training, aged between 13 and 15, when the abuse occurred.
The acts include Ryan forcing his penis into the boy’s mouth, masturbating him and attempting to penetrate him.
