FORMER priest Eugene Fitzpatrick has been jailed for 22 years for historical sex abuse, and detectives are urging any further victims to come forward.
Fitzpatrick, 68, of Raymond Avenue, Canterbury was convicted at Blackfriars Crown Court on Thursday, May 25 of seven counts of indecent assault, four counts of indecency with a child and two counts of buggery.
He was sentenced to 22 years’ imprisonment the following day.
The offences took place between the 1960s and 1990s.
The indecent assaults and indecency offences were committed against one victim in the Islington area throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
The first assault took place in Tufnell Park in 1965 when Fitzpatrick was 17 years old and the boy was under the age of 8.
