Six years for paedophile priest on Net

A priest who sexually abused young boys, then described what he had done to other paedophiles via the Internet, was jailed for six years last night.

Father Adrian McLeish, 45, who showed no emotion throughout the day-long hearing at Newcastle upon Tyne Crown Court, admitted 12 charges of indecency with boys under 14. He had also pleaded guilty to six charges of distributing indecent pictures of children under 16 over the Internet.
