Paedophile vicar who 'used God to hide the monster he is' could spend rest of life in prison
Serial sex offender John Roberts received further time behind bars today following indecent assault conviction
A paedophile vicar who "used God to hide the monster he is" could spend the rest of his life behind bars after being convicted of sexual offences against a fifth victim.
John Roberts was yesterday found guilty of five counts of indecent assault following a trial at Liverpool Crown Court, which heard that he "misused the power and authority of his position to carry out acts of sexual abuse" while serving as a priest at St Peter's Church in St Helens during the 1970s. The now 89-year-old, formerly of Cherry Vale in Woolton, attempted to grope the boy in the vicarage and during a trip away.
