Father Joseph Quigley was jailed for 11 and a half years
The Roman Catholic Church in Birmingham has apologised for the “suffering” caused by Father Joseph Quigley when he sexually and physically abused a teenage boy at a church in Warwickshire for six years.
Described as a “sexual sadist”, Quigley rubbed his teenage victim’s inner thigh after making him wear gym kit, made him take showers with the door open and inflicted ‘sado-masochistic’ punishments on him such as locking him in the church’s crypt.
He also beat the boy with a hurling stick during his time at St Charles Borromeo RC church in Hampton-on-the-Hill near Warwick, reports BirminghamLive.
Quigley has now been jailed for 11 and a half years after being handed his sentence on January 29.
