In a victim impact statement, the victim said that his life changed forever that day. He recalled doing his Inter Certificate exam in the gym hall where he was sexually assaulted. “I remember everything as if it was yesterday – to my shame, I covered up what was done to me. I was a nervous wreck at school. I was worried if he ever became my teacher. I wasn’t listening in class. I went from a bright and happy young man to a completely different person.

Judge Brian O’Callaghan was told of Mr Bryan’s nine previous circuit court convictions for indecent assaults on males. They all related to incidents at the North Monastery school in Cork in the 1980s.

If you want a life of crime do it in Ireland. Very few consequences. Unbelievable.

One year? That is nothing but an insult to the victim. I wonder what the hell possessed that judge to give such a lenient sentence?

A year? For ruining a boys life?

Caption makes it look like a win but its not

Oh my God, just 1 year for destroying someone's life..that's not justice.

1 year and he's 9 convictions only in fucking Ireland
