Retired Franciscan brother jailed for 11 years for raping boy
Stage: Sentence
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; Justice Naidoo set a headline sentence of 13 years, which he reduced to 11 years taking into account O'Callaghan's age, medical issues and other personal circumstances. Defence counsel asked the court to take into account O'Callaghan's age, poor health and that he has not come to garda attention over the last 18 years since his release from custody on the other sentence.
