A FORMER priest has been jailed for plying a 13-year-old boy with a drink and abusing him at a parochial house.
Eamonn Crossan admitted taking the teenager to the property in Kincasslagh, Co Donegal, and indecently assaulting him.
John Judge Alymer imposed a three-year sentence, the final 12 months of which were suspended.
Crossan, now 69, was placed on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years.
Following sentencing, the Diocese of Raphoe released a statement in which Bishop Alan McGuckian apologized to the victim and his family.
It confirmed Crossan was a priest in the diocese from 1976. He was removed from ministry immediately after the complaint in 1998 and gardai and the HSE/Tusla were informed.
