Distraught victim of Ayrshire paedo priest lashes out when evil abuser has sentence slashed by FULL YEAR branding the decision ‘absolutely shameful’
Sex beast Father Francis Moore, 82, subjected three children and a student cleric to a string of terrifying attacks between 1977 and 1996
THE distraught victim of an Ayrshire paedo priest has lashed out after the evil abuser had his sentence slashed by A FULL YEAR.
Sex beast Father Francis Moore, 82, subjected three children and a student cleric to a string of terrifying attacks between 1977 and 1996.
The predator’s youngest victim, Andi Lavery, now 46, has now revealed his FURY after the brute churchman had his sentenced cut to just eight years.
Andi, originally from Irvine, Ayrshire, blasted: “It’s absolutely shameful.
“He’s never had any bit of remorse, he was devastated for himself and himself alone.
“It’s absolutely denegrating, I’m a human being and I do not get treated with dignity.
“It absolutely stinks, I’d have given him 25 years for what he’s done.”
Depraved Moore, who was also known as Father Paul, was found guilty of sexually abusing three children and a trainee priest.
Judge Lady Rae jailed Moore at the High Court in Glasgow earlier this year saying he was guilty of the disturbing crimes and a gross breach of trust.
But a hearing at the Criminal Court of Appeal in Edinburgh on Thursday saw lawyers for Moore successfully argue that their client should have been acquitted of the assault on the student priest.
They argued that the nature of the assault on the trainee was different in nature from the assault on the children and the crime took place 20 years after the first set of offences.
We told previously how anguished Andi bravely waived his anonymity to slam the 82-year-old perv who was caged for nine years in April.
The dad was attacked repeatedly by depraved Father Francis Moore over a six-month period when he was just five years old.
Andi was the youngest of Moore’s victims and was abused for the first time when he was sent to the predator by teachers after drawing a picture of Jesus Christ with nipples.
He also hit out at the Crown office and Victim Support after claiming they failed to inform him of the gutting news.
Andi, who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder as a result of Moore’s vile abuse, said: “I’ve had no communication whatsoever from the Crown Office of Procurator Fiscal at any stage.
“They haven’t even told me it’s happened, it’s absolutely disgusting.
“They’ll come out with the nonsense ‘oh, he didn’t need to go’ but that’s my life out there today.
“I had to pay £85 to travel to the High Court in Edinburgh to find out what’s happened.

“It’s awful, I wish I never went to the police in the first place.
“My experience has been completely toxic.
“They talk about support - it’s all complete bull****.”
He added: “I’ve been made to feel like I’m lesser than human.”
