Father Anthony McSweeney convicted

 Mail online reports "Father Anthony McSweeney, 68, faces jail after he was convicted of preying on the vulnerable boy while he was working at Grafton Close Children's Home in Hounslow, west London, more than 30 years ago." and that
.... In 1998 McSweeney nearly lost his job when his cleaner discovered his stash of sex toys, truncheons and pornographic videos at St Peter's Catholic Church in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex.
She played one of the tapes and saw it featured two boys between 14 and 16 years old having sex, the court heard.
McSweeney was originally told that he would be 'banished' from the priesthood, but after around six months was quietly moved to a new parish, St George's in Norwich."
