Priest faces jail over sex attacks

A Catholic priest from County Mayo is facing prison after admitting a string of sex attacks on young children.

Father John Benedict Corrigan, 71, was extradited from Ireland to the UK to face justice for sexually abusing three boys and a girl in the north east of England.

At Newcastle Crown Court the retired clergyman admitted indecently assaulting a 15-year-old girl nearly 40 years ago.
