A former priest has today been sentenced to two years in prison for
sexually assaulting a seven-year-old girl during her First Confession in
West Cork in the late 80s. John Calnan - who has an address at The Presbytery, Paul Street, Cork City, pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault.
Cork Circuit Criminal Court heard that the victim - who was seven years old at the time - was confessing her sins to Fr Calnan during the Sacrament of Penance when he sexually assaulted her.
