A former Catholic priest jailed for molesting boys in the 1970s and 80s has been sentenced for another indecent assault.
However Mark Mannix Brown won’t have to serve any more time in jail to account for his latest charge of indecent assault.
Brown, 74, was sentenced on a new charge of indecent assault on a boy aged under 12, when he appeared in the Hamilton District Court on Thursday, via audio-visual link from prison.
He is currently serving a 26-month jail term, imposed on him in August for charges against three historic victims.
The latest charge – which relates to incidents against another victim that took place between December 1, 1976 and December 31, 1977 in Raglan – resulted in a 10-month jail sentence, which will be served concurrently.
