No Legion of Christ Sexual Abuser ever Punished!

Strange, isn't it. Fr. Maciel, the sexual predator, founder and instigator of sexual abuse in the Legion got away with a slap on the wrist from the Pope.

Nothing has ever been done about him and other Legionary sexual abusers. The Legion's Media Massage and Control has been very effective. Money talks and, in the Legion's case, money shuts people up.

[I must admit that the Legion has taken some of its sexual abusers out of circulation -discreetly- when the names have been published or leaked, or when victims have taken steps to expose them.]

In Ireland, a priest who sexually abused at least 10 altar boys recently got 2 years in prison; not much for destroying so many childhoods...But it is better than nothing. But in justice, the sentences should run sequentially adding up to 20 years at least, as he destroyed the childhoods of at least 10 people...say, 10 years by 10...


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

Raymond Brady acted “like a predator” abusing boys between 11 and 17

An Irish priest who admitted to sexually assaulting 10 boys in the Diocese of Meath, has been sentenced to two years by Trim Circuit Criminal Court.

Fr Raymond Brady from Baltrasna, Oldcastle, Co Meath, acted “like a predator”, said Judge Michael O’Shea, according to the Irish Times.

The 77-year-old priest admitted assaulting the boys, some of them brothers, at different locations including the parochial houses in Drumconrath and Kilbeg and admitted an attempted assault on another boy. According to the Times, abuse also happened in a caravan in Bettystown and in Brady's car as he took the boys to and from funeral Masses.

The majority of the victims were altar boys aged between 11 and 17.

The abuse was revealed when one of the victims told a priest in Co Louth who contacted the Irish police. The investigation was led by Det Garda Moroney of Kells.

Some of the victims were abused as they sat on the priest’s knee in their own living rooms while their mother was in the kitchen making tea, the court heard.

One boy told Det Garda Bryan Moroney he woke in his bed to find the priest standing above him. Apparently, the priest knew the boy was alone in the house and had let himself in to sexually abuse him.

Two of the men, who are now middle-aged, read statements to the court.

One said when he goes to Mass “it maddens me the way we are asked to pray for the church but nobody is ever asked to pray for the abused”.

“I want everybody to know what Fr Brady has done,” he said.

Brady gave evidence and apologized “to anybody I have hurt or harmed in any way."

The court heard Brady stopped the assaults in the 1970s after “an encounter” with a teenage girl who was the victim of abuse, “who opened his eyes to the impact of sexual abuse on a child for the first time."

Defencing Senior counsel Padraig Dwyer said Brady has been suspended for a “considerable period of time from engaging in any activities in connection with the church”, and that he would be laicised after the court case.

When he passed sentence on Brady, Judge O’Shea said, “I am satisfied he acted as a predator.”

He added that the sexual abuse could only be described as “humiliating, horrific and disgusting. He took their childhood and innocence from them.”

Brady received the maximum two-year jail term on each of the 11 charges; they will run concurrently.
