'Monster' jailed for rape and sex abuse as a teenager over 40 years ago
Stage: Sentence
Finding: Found guilty
Outcome: Found guilty; Imposing sentence, Mr Justice Kerida Naidoo noted the age disparity between Meaney and the two victims, the girls' young ages at the time and the breach of trust involved. Having considered Meaney's long work history, lack of previous convictions and personal circumstances, the judge imposed an effective global sentence of four years and three months.
