A former Catholic priest who molested an altar boy at a Medway church more than 20 years ago has today avoided a jail sentence.
Malcolm McLennan admitted molesting the boy, who is now in his late-30s, when he appeared before Medway magistrates last month.
The 69-year-old was handed a three-year community order at Maidstone Crown Court today.
After the sentence, the victim said: “I am devastated. Justice has not been served.”
