One of the first priests charged in connection with the Roman Catholic sex-abuse scandal in the 1980s has died.
In 1988 Father John Corrigan pleaded guilty to five charges of gross indecency and two counts of sexual assault on boys between the ages of 10 and 13.
Eight other charges originally filed against the priest were dropped. He was sentenced to five years in prison.
