Irish priest sentenced to two years for sexual assault of ten young boys

when the hell will we ever introduce something to prevent this evil accurring wherever it does in childrens homes,anywhere young people are taught and in the control of adults,armed forces etc,there should be some sort of regular independant inspection check up in place ,how long do we have to keep reading about this rotten evil abuse.

All they got was 2 yrs? Srsly?! For sexually abusing TEN little boys?! WTF? They need to be castrated!

There is one hopeful note in this article, about the priest who reported the abuse: "The abuse was revealed when one of the victims told a priest in Co Louth who contacted the Irish police." That priest deserves respect and gratitude for doing his moral duty and exercising moral courage in the face of well documented obstacles! And probably his bishop will never thank him, so I thank him.

Back to routine business for the demonic church of rome and its men in black with their own legal code.

The punishment should fit the crime. He should be put in general population and be given the opportunity to interact with like minded criminals. Although he probably thinks it is better to give than receive as he obviously did, he should now be on the receiving end. I apologize for the crude comment, but each time I read about the systematic abuse of children by the priests, the cover up, transferring to new territory and the lack of action by the church hierarchy, I become angry that these church officials do not have a shred of common decency in their soul. At least the Nazis killed their victims instead of inflicting a life long sentence like the Catholic Church has done.

And these evil freaks in frocks are going to tell ME I can't take a birth control pill? Puh-leeeze....

A very sad reflection on the system and will hardly inspire victims to come forward in any quest for justice.

What a joke 2 years maybe he something on the judge.

1 .. I hope Thomastown Co. Kilkenny checks this man out as he was there in the early 60s. As to the picture above it is inappropriate as Brady was not a monk / friar as it suggests he was a secular diosesean priest. It is abusive to be so careless with your illustrations.

TWO FREAKING YEARS for assaulting the innocence of these people. It has become clear to me over the years that the legal system is a farce in both Ireland and Britain. The crime disgusts me but the punishment infuriates me. If i was a victim i would feel violated all over again by the legal system.

Just attended a television show (Ask Dr Nandi) where Dr Nandi and Dr. Nadine Gillmore talked about PTSD and how sexual assualt was the 2nd most frequent cause in males and primary cause in females. The treatment and social consequences are high. Such assault doesn't just affect the victim, but all of us. My heart goes out to the victims and my hope is that they are able to get treatment as it really does help, but never eliminates the problem. I too think two years not appropriate, but if that is what the statutes allow, so be it. BUT why not consecutive terms, at least that would be 22 years. And the victims should certainly go for civil action to cover the expenses of their treatment.

If this was in Islamic countries in the middle east this man would lose the offending body part,works every time.

Priests still getting away with Rape, big surprise. That's why I won't give a dime to any collection for the bishop!

Abuse? This dog is a RAPIST!

Two freakin years-they get that for stealing dogs in the US!
