Former Norfolk Catholic Priest jailed for three years for sexually abusing teenage boy at care home
A former Norfolk Roman Catholic priest has been jailed for three years for sexually abusing a teenage boy at a care home.
Father Anthony McSweeney has also been put on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years and has been given a Sexual Harm Prevention order which means he has no access to boys between the ages of 12 and 17 without supervision.
He will also only have controlled use of the internet and computers.
Father Anthony McSweeney was found guilty of abuse at a children's home in Hounslow, west London, between 1979 and 1981.
In 1998 he was moved from St Peter's Catholic Church in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex to St George's in Norwich, and his cleaner discovered pornographic videos at his home.
He went on to become a governor at Notre Dame High School in Norwich.
