A former priest who sexually abused two 13-year-old boys in the 1970s in Dublin and Kildare has received an 18-month jail sentence today.
Patrick McCabe (aged 77) told gardaí that one of the boys who he abused in a car outside a school in 1977 met the “requirements” of his “fetish”.
The other boy was abused in a house adjoining the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin at the time of the Pope’s visit in 1979.
The former priest has previously received an 18-month sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for indecently assaulting young boys.
