PAEDOPHILE PRIEST PLEADS GUILTY

Hunter paedophile priest John Sidney Denham today pleaded guilty to multiple child sex offences.

During a hearing in Sydney’s Downing Centre, the 70-year-old admitted to 25 charges, including the indecent assault and buggery of young boys in the 1970s.

Most of the offences occurred at St Pius X College in Adamstown.

Three years ago, the priest pleaded guilty to similar crimes against 39 victims in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

He was defrocked by the Catholic Church in 2011.
