Alexander Bede Walsh a priest at St John the Evangelist Church in Banbury from 1999 until 2004, was convicted last month of 21 sexual offences over a period of 18 years.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard that the Catholic clergyman used his status to prey on his victims, abusing boys in Coventry, Staffordshire and Warwickshire. The abuse, described as “serial and predatory”, took place between 1975 and 1993.
