Former Willow Park teacher Peter Kelly was sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison for indecently assaulting eight boys. Aidan Moore, a survivor who spoke publicly after sentencing, said the outcome was a victory for victims and credited the courage of survivors and the work of An Garda Síochána and the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Moore urged people affected by sexual abuse to seek support and said men should come forward to tell their stories so they could be heard and believed. He also called on adults to protect children, saying child sexual abuse remains a live issue.
