Priest jailed for indecent assault

United Kingdom -

A Roman Catholic priest convicted of indecently assaulting a 13-year-old girl has been jailed for 21 months.

Father John Lloyd, 57, a parish priest for 32 years, indecently assaulted the girl minutes after baptising her.

"And I find the description of what you did to that girl almost unbelievable."
