A former priest and serial child abuser will have to serve an extra year behind bars for the sexual assault of a young girl in the 1970s.
Tony Walsh of North Circular Road in Dublin is already serving a 16-year sentence for the rape and abuse of three schoolboys.
In the late 1970s, Tony Walsh used to perform as an Elvis impersonator with an All Priests Show and became known as the “singing priest”.
But away from the stage act, he was a child abuser, who was eventually defrocked by Pope John Paul II.
In 2010, the 61-year-old was jailed for 16 years for abusing boys in the 70s and 80s. He will now spend an extra year in prison for indecently assaulting a young girl.
