Abuse priest awaits his fate
Teesside, England, United Kingdom --
A roman Catholic priest who has admitted sexually abusing a 13-year-old Teesside boy 30 years ago was due to be sentenced today.
Charges against 55-year-old Father Michael Dunn relate to an 18-month period between 1975 and 1976 when he was a priest at Christ the King Church in Thornaby.
Dunn pleaded guilty at Teesside Magistrates' Court in January to two specimen charges of gross indecency and one of indecent assault on the child.
He was released on bail to appear at Teesside Crown Court today. Stockton police's child protection unit launched their investigation into Dunn after the priest's victim contacted them last October.
They interviewed the now 42-year-old married dad who told them how his life had been traumatised by the sickening abuse he suffered at the hands of the priest.
They also tracked down and interviewed former teachers at the boy's school and family members before arresting Dunn.
It is alleged the priest befriended the boy and his family before beginning a catalogue of abuse.
