A Catholic priest who sexually abused a young girl on four separate occasions in 1974 has been jailed for four months.
Anthony Colbourne pleaded guilty this morning to indecently assaulting his eight-year-old victim in the presbytery and his office on four separate occasions.
The Brisbane District Court heard Colbourne told the child her parents would not get into heaven if she told anyone what he had done.
He also threatened to prevent her mother from converting to Catholicism and to tell her stepfather, who beat her, that she had stolen a book.
