Priest guilty of sex abuse
England -
A FORMER Catholic priest was yesterday found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage boy and girl at a children’s home 30 years ago. Michael McConville, 51, of Walworth, London, abused a "position of responsibility" at the St Mary’s home in Gravesend, Kent, to form a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl. Maidstone Crown Court also heard how he indecently assaulted a teenage boy at the home, run by the Catholic Children’s Society.
Another former priest, 56-year-old David Murphy, of Portobello High Street, Edinburgh, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to eight counts of indecent assault relating to the sexual abuse of children at the home. The court heard that Murphy and McConville had been posted to St Mary’s in 1969 and 1970 respectively by the CCS. Both will be sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court at a later date.
