A scout leader at a Catholic children’s home branded the “orphanage from hell” has been jailed for molesting young boys in the 1960s.
John Cahill pleaded guilty to six counts of indecent assault on four boys aged between 10 and 14 at St Francis Home for Boys in Shefford, Bedfordshire.
His victims, now in their 60s, wept in court as they told how their lives were devastated by the abuse.
Cahill was jailed for three and a half years at the Old Bailey in March but it can only be reported now.
