Former Celtic Boys Club chief appears in court charged...

[compo 7,043]

He can coach the prison team now keep his hand in and anything else he can get in , auld pervert.

Funny how an alleged abuse by an anonymous person at Rangers was the headline news yet an actual paedo at Celtic who has been quoted as abusing boys whilst at Celtic pleading guilty wasn’t even in the top Scottish news on the BBC.

Also just checked the DR - not a single peep.

 

Strange, it’s almost like someone is guiding them on what stories to report...

It is very odd although not exactly surprising.

 

The BBC and Celtc FC share an obvious affinity for carpets and hiding things under them.

Slightly off topic, just comparing headlines!.

 

Australian archbishop Philip Wilson guilty of concealing child sex abuses

Another victim, who cannot be named, told the court he disclosed the abuse in the confessional box when he was 11 years old. He said Wilson told him he was telling lies and to recite 10 Hail Mary prayers as punishment.

Child sexual abuse survivors praised the verdict in emotional scenes outside the court following the decision.

"The decision will hopefully unravel the hypocrisy, the deceit, and the abuse of power and trust that the church has displayed," Mr Creigh told reporters.

Wilson's lawyers had tried to get the case thrown out on four occasions, after the 67-year-old was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

He will be sentenced in June and faces a maximum two-year jail term.

An Australian court has found a Catholic archbishop guilty of concealing child sexual abuse in the 1970s.

Philip Wilson, the archbishop of Adelaide, becomes the most senior Catholic in the world to be charged and convicted of the offence.

He was found to have covered up the abuse of altar boys by a paedophile priest colleague in New South Wales.

During his trial he denied being told about the abuse by some of the victims.

In a statement issued by the church on Wednesday, Wilson said he was "obviously disappointed" with the verdict and would consider his legal options.

'Wanted to protect the church'

Last month, Wilson told the Newcastle Local Court he had no knowledge of priest James Fletcher's actions, which took place when he was an assistant priest in Maitland, 130km (80 miles) north of Sydney.

Fletcher was later convicted of nine child sexual abuse charges in 2004, and died in jail in 2006.

One of his victims, former altar boy Peter Creigh, told the court he had described the abuse to Wilson in detail in 1976, five years after it took place.

Magistrate Robert Stone rejected Wilson's claims that he had no memory of the conversation, and said he found Mr Creigh to be a reliable witness.

The priest knew "what he was hearing was a credible allegation and the accused wanted to protect the Church and its reputation", Magistrate Stone said.

• Catholic Church 'abused 4,400 children'
• Australia sexual abuse 'a national tragedy'

hopefully new SFA chief exec Ian Maxwell will be keeping up-to-date with court proceedings and will be in a position to determine whether any member clubs were involved in cover-ups regards child abuse in scottish football.

 

I rather think his predecessor, Mr Regan, wasn't too keen on this & got out.

Another blatant example of their obvious media influence. It’s ridiculous.

I would reckon that Ceptic lawyers would be stating the case that while he was employed by them, he was also employed by other clubs during the time in question therefore it is wrong to single out one particular club.

We just need to get our legal people to act in a similar manner.
