Irish Catholic priest Fr. Gannon, a repeat child sex offender is on trial for sexually mollesting an 11 year old boy in the 1960s. Gannon alledgedly assulted the boy 3 times, once in the rectory when the child appeared for altar boy duties. 
He told the youngster that he was giving him an anatomy lesson and not to tell anyone because no one would belive the boy.
Gannon has been previously convicted of sexual assult but only served time for one conviction. Despite the many testimonies agaist him, Gannon refuses to apologize or show remorse for his destructive and offensive behavior.
And he fondled and kissed the boy in the pump room of the local swimming pool in 1969, the court heard.
Asked by police why he took the boy to the secluded bush location and touched his penis, Gannon replied he was explaining the “differences in anatomy”.
“I thought it was less formal rather than inviting him into the presbytery and that’s all,” he told police. 2
Fr. Gannon’s behavior suggests he does not fully understand the severity of his actions. The submissive behavior fostered by the Catholic church provides pedofiles like Gannon a furtile playing field to wreak havoc on the lives of youngsters who are told to trust priests and elders in their parent’s religious cult.
