A 75-year-old former Irish teacher, Liam McGrath, was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for sexually assaulting two boys in the 1980s.
Liam McGrath, a 75-year-old former Christian Brother known as Brother Kilian, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for seven counts of indecent assault against two boys in the 1980s.
The abuse occurred when the victims were 12 to 14 years old in Ireland, with McGrath exploiting his position as a teacher and school principal to gain access to the boys and their families.
Survivors, now in their 50s, described lasting trauma, including anxiety, depression, and self-loathing, and said the abuse destroyed their childhoods.
McGrath, who had no prior convictions, was found guilty on seven counts and acquitted on four.
The judge described him as “sinister” for manipulating trust and isolating the victims.
Reporting restrictions were lifted at the survivors’ request, allowing McGrath’s name to be made public.
