A man has been convicted of non-recent child sex offences dating back to when police say he worked as a priest and private tutor.

Joseph Quigley, 56, of Church Lane in Stone, Staffordshire was arrested and charged as part of a Warwickshire Police investigation.

Quigley was found guilty by a majority jury on Thursday (December 3) following his trial at Warwick Crown Court of four counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, two counts of sexual assault, two counts of false imprisonment and one count of child cruelty.

The offences took place in Warwick, between 2006 and 2009 against one male victim when he was aged between 14 and 16.

At the time the offences occurred, police say that Quigley was working in a position of trust as a priest and private tutor.
