US paedophile priest jailed for 10 years
A Roman Catholic priest was jailed for 10 years in Kentucky today for sexually abusing two boys from a family he befriended.
Father Daniel Clark, 55, abused the brothers, now aged 12 and 13 over a four year period.
In June, the Louisville archdiocese agreed to pay €22.7m to nearly 250 people who said they were abused by priests. Clark was accused in more than a dozen of the suits.
Two of the boys’ uncles sued the archdiocese, claiming they were sexually abused by Clark when they were young.
In 1988, Clark pleaded guilty to sodomy and sexual abuse for molesting two other boys at St Rita Catholic Church in Louisville.
He was removed from public ministry after the first conviction but allowed to still volunteer.
