One complainant, who read out his victim impact statement to the court, said he was a 10-year-old boy when he was “physically, sexually and mentally abused and the fear of God was put in me in school”

An octogenarian former Christian Brother who indecently assaulted five schoolboys almost 50 years ago has been jailed for three years and two months.

. He said he told the school principal about the abuse and was told “not to discuss it” and that he was a “good boy”. Sentencing the man today, Judge Elma Sheahan said the abuse perpetrated by the man on five “young, innocent boys” left an indelible mark. She noted the common features of the five victim impact statements and the impact the trial process had on them in terms of them being retraumatised by old memories of the abuse.
