Patrick Maguire is a registered sex offender in Ireland. The serial child abuser and former priest has received a three-year suspended sentence for molesting a 14-year-old altar boy. He is currently living under a strict regime with the Columban Fathers in Dalgan Park, in Navan, Co Meath. Maguire previously received a three-year suspended sentence from Judge Mary Ellen last January for sexually abusing a ten-year-old boy in 1981. He has a further 13 previous convictions for similar offences, including a six-year sentence handed down by Dundalk Circuit Criminal Court in 2000.
Shane Costelloe BL, defending, asked for his client’s “sincere apologies for his behaviour” to be passed on to his victims. One of these victims – now 43 – still suffers psychological effects from the abuse, including self harm, depression, flashbacks, trust issues and panic attacks.
There is no comment to make on this typical case, beyond the general question, “Do the West’s legal systems know WTF they are doing in relation to paedophilia?”
I really don’t care where and how it occurs: I’d just like the governing élites beyond the Church to do something that suggests they are informed as opposed to ignorant. Source
