A vile Christian Brother sexually abused boys as young as ten as they sat in class, a court heard yesterday.

The shocking details of the sex assaults on the boys at a national school in the midlands were revealed to Mullingar Circuit Court sitting in Tullamore.

Evil Thomas McCarry, 66, of Clareville, Finglas Road, Glasnevin in Dublin admitted a series of sample charges of indecently assaulting four boys on dates at the school between 1984 and 1987.

Garda Eric Naughton told the court that the assaults came to light in 2010 when one of Bro McCarry’s victims made a statement. The others later made statements, the latest in March of last year.

The assaults all took place during class while the boys were aged 10-11 and in fifth and sixth class in national school.

Each of the victims outlined how Belfast native McCarry would approach them from behind and lean over as if to help with their schoolwork.
