An elderly "defrocked" Catholic priest has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years' jail for sexually abusing five children in Perth in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
He pleaded not guilty but was convicted by a District Court jury last year on three charges of indecent dealing, and six counts of indecent assault. One of the female victims was abused after being taken into a confessional box at the same church while she was preparing for her First Holy Communion.Want more WA news?
Holmes indecently touched two young girls after encouraging them to take part in competitions that involved doing handstands and cartwheels.
Disgusting 🤮

You fucking grub you are why I handed my cross in and want nothing to do with you grubby cult that’s what it is
Good hope suffers
What's the problem with that.
Good.
I still don’t get why religious right conservatives are so obsessed with finding pedophiles, but not the ones in their own ranks...
Can I like this post twice?
👏👏👏👏👏
It’s nice to see a good news story for a change 👏👏👏
Good hopefully rots there.
Good.
Who cares
I reiterate religion is used to control the masses.
No one cares... if they do, they’d hope he suffered more...
Good.. hopefully on the cold concrete floor...
Why is this filth on the streets in the first place judges need to be help accountable
Oxygen thief

Die arsehole
Dehler45 What would you like me to do with that information
FatherBob This Paedophile Priest deserves everything he gets

Why not before?

Serves him right. It’s where they all should die.
Boo hoo.
Good riddance
Cross fingers
Law of karma is eternal
Good stuff 😇
Paedophiles, thieves and politicians all share the bottom rung on the Social Acceptability Ladder, usually because their proclivities tend to overlap.
Damn, Kansas City ain't making the Super Bowl next year now...
So there was some good news today...
And?
So what’s so bad about that - a low brow pedophile rotting away in goal! I’d personally prefer a public lynching. I find it unbelievable that the origin of the word pedophile only dates back to 1950-55.
SO be it
Good riddance! Destroying children’s childhood 🤬
May die in custody? Paedophiles don't get better they don't rehabilitate they are evil till the day they die. And then probably for a long time after that.
So?
Good.
For the lives he ruined, this seems a bit light on, then again hell will be waiting to welcome this creep, poetic justice.
Bewdy!
GOOD!
Good oh!
He should rot in jail 👏🏼
It just never ends does it !! Amd it never will when the church ignores victims and zero tolerance. Pell must be laughing
Finally some good news.
Good
Good Riddance
Good
The Catholic Church really need to realise a Priest's life is not normal, and no exuse for the pain they have caused. Such Sadness for the innocent victims here.
One of DavePellowe christian solders....
I’m not a fan of any Religions but how brainwashed would you be to still follow the Catholic Church !
And journo?
Oh well that's life
He was just doing his job
Great news.
That’s ok.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving person
Oh well
Good.
diddums
Bye!
I have passed BA Honors. I need a job very much. Please help someone.
Good.
Good riddance.
There is a solution!!
Where he should
Fairs fair
Good. JohnnyTZing look at this joke of a man.
Then perish.
Good. But does Andrew Bolt want to defend this pedophile?
A five-year-old. You fucking hero. Rot in hell.
Good
Thats a shame.
Should have been put away long ago.
don't worry paddy. tony abbott and john howard are each writing letters to attest to ur fine character and years as a leading voice in the conservative movement. a pillar of ur community who embodies the teachings of christ. they wont let a bit of tom-foolery ruin ur name Uscum
Whilst I dont wish death on anyone. This person's obituary I would read with great pleasure. Hopefully written by Correctional Services.
oh well
Sounds fair.
Only 0lace for a rockspider
Love that for him.
Jail for Life You Idiots!
Good
I hope his victims find some kind of solace from this sentence. I feel no sympathy for this perpetrator’s predicament. Perhaps if he had been caught earlier, much earlier.
Good
winning.
Good
And hopefully very lonely
Don't treat Children like that and you'll never get time. Catholics are better then that.
Bit late for me......
Good
Good
Just let it be....slowly.
Thoughts & prayers
Must be one of Andrew Bolt’s mates
Yes that’s a good thing.
ohh I'm farken heartbroken
Good
