	Monk Jailed for Abusing Schoolboys Metro November 8, 2007 http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=74936&in_page_id=34 An 80-year-old monk was jailed for 15 months today for sexually abusing boys at a Roman Catholic prep school more than 30 years ago. William Manahan, an ordained priest known as Daddy Prior, pleaded guilty at Exeter Crown Court to eight charges of sexually assaulting pupils. The victims, all under 13 at the time, were abused at Buckfast Abbey Preparatory School in Devon between 1971 and 1978. The school closed in 1994. Manahan, who began teaching at the school two years after it was established in 1967, was said by one victim to prefer "prettier boys". Prosecutor Ian Fenney told the court Manahan touched the boys' private parts under cover of his desk in class, and also while watching TV with them in school boarding houses.
