Former Christian Brother at Liverpool De La Salle School pleads guilty to indecent assaults on boy
A former Christian Brother at De La Salle school in Croxteth pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a young boy.
Paul Davey, 58, admitted two counts of indecent assault on a boy under 16 when he appeared for trial at Liverpool Crown Court.
Davey admitted touching the boy indecently around 1987 or 1988 when his victim was auditioning for a school performance at the Carr Lane East institution.
He also admitted pinning him down in his bed and abusing him while the pair were on a trip to London at one of De La Salle’s other properties.
The ECHO understands Davey, of Bentinck Street, St Helens, has already served a 30 month prison sentence for offences against a separate victim at around the same time.
Davey was allowed bail ahead of a sentence hearing on October 9 as the judge ordered a pre-sentence report.
Judge Thomas Teague, QC, said: “I have been very careful not to give any indication of what the ultimate outcome of this case will be for you.
“I think I need to have as much information as I can get about this case.”
De La Salle, originally a grammar school, would have been a comprehensive at the time of the offences.
