A Catholic priest has been jailed for 10-and-a-half years for plying a teenage boy with drink and raping him.\u00a0CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>

Father Anthony White, of Cross-In-Hand, Heathfield, East Sussex, was sentenced at Hove Crown Court for sexual assault and two offences of indecent assault against the boy, who was aged 15 at the time.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The offences happened in 1992 and 1993 at the address where White was then living in Horsham while he was an assistant priest at St John\u2019s Church.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A Sussex Police spokesman said the 64-year-old was charged after the victim came forward in 2020.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Detective Constable Yvonne Daddow said: \u2018White got to know the boy when he and his family attended the church.<\/p>\n

\u2018He gradually gained their confidence and the boy started to visit the priest\u2019s address in Horsham on the pretext of doing some jobs around the house.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2018However on the first occasion White plied the boy with drink and then raped him. On further occasions he also committed sexual assaults on the teenager.<\/p>\n

\u2018The victim kept these terrible experiences to himself for nearly 30 years and they have had a very serious impact on his mental health and well-being all that time.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2018Only when watching a TV documentary about unrelated cases of misconduct by priests did he feel able to come forward and disclose what had happened to him.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2018I would like to thank the witnesses for their time in coming forward to support the police in this investigation.<\/p>\n

\u2018We will always investigate such cases and provide support to victims, seeking justice wherever possible no matter how long ago the events are said to have happened.\u2019\u00a0CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
