Former parish priest Maxwell Halahan, who was jailed in 2011 for sexually abusing a child.
THE victim of a former Isle of Wight priest’s sex abuse has been awarded a £200,000 settlement from the Church of England to help him rebuild his shattered life.
The former choirboy received compensation from the church after suffering abuse in the 1970s at the hands of Father Maxwell Halahan at St Faith’s Church in Cowes.
It was not until 2011 that Halahan, then aged 81, was jailed for three years.
