Victim speaks out and claims others ready to come forward

- BY NICOLA DONNELLY

A BRAVE victim of released paedophile Tony Walsh has blasted the former cleric after he was spotted as four more alleged victims are to make statements against him.

This comes after evil Walsh, 75 - who was known as the 'singing priest' - was spotted attending Mass at Dublin's Pro-Cathedral recently.

Walsh was released from Arbour Hill prison last November after serving nearly 30 years behind bars for 38 sexual offences on schoolboys in the 1980s.

Depraved Walsh, who is also known as the 'Beast of Ballyfermot', used the cover of the Catholic Church to prey on innocent children.

He was a curate in Ballyfermot, and a chaplain to De La Salle school from 1978 to 1996 when he started to abuse the boys.

Formerly of Dublin's Coolock, Walsh, who had been an Elvis impersonator, was defrocked by Pope John Paul II in 1989 on the advice of Cardinal Desmond Connell and formally dismissed from the priesthood in 1996 because of his sick sexual abuse of young boys.

The beast was mentioned in the Murphy Report into clerical sex abuse, which contained harrowing details of how the sicko abused boys serially and continually during his priesthood.

BARBARIC

During a court hearing it was heard the sicko told gardai he was attracted to young boys aged between 10 and 12 and "that was always the case".
