Former Priest Receives Suspended Sentence for Breaching Court Order

Daniel Gerard Curran, a disgraced former priest who abused young boys for nearly 20 years, has been given a three-month suspended jail sentence for breaching a court order.

Curran pleaded guilty to breaching his lifelong sexual offences prevention order (SOPO) and was sentenced today (Thursday) to three months imprisonment, suspended for three years.

The court order, imposed to protect the public, appears to have been violated by Curran, although specific details regarding the breach were not immediately available.

This sentencing follows a long history of abuse allegations against Curran. The extent of his crimes and the impact on his victims remain a somber reminder of the devastating consequences of such actions.
