A Dublin teacher, Peter Kelly, 73, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for 28 counts of indecent assault on eight boys over decades at a Catholic school.
Peter Kelly, 73, a former teacher at Willow Park Primary School in Dublin, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for 28 counts of indecent assault against eight boys, most aged 10 to 13, between the 1970s and 1980s.
The abuse occurred over nearly three decades at the school, run by the Spiritan order, with victims describing long-term trauma, including PTSD, addiction, and relationship difficulties.
Judge Elma Sheehan emphasized the breach of trust, the vulnerability of the children, and the lasting harm, including intergenerational effects, while rejecting any suspension of the sentence due to Kelly’s refusal to accept the jury’s verdict.
Eight survivors shared emotional impact statements, highlighting the courage it took to come forward after decades of silence.
