Sex offender escapes jail term at victim's request

A former Christian Brother from the North Monastery in Cork was told today that he could thank the victim he sexually assaulted for the fact that he was not going to prison.

Garry Creevey (aged 57) of The Bungalow, Kilquiggan, Tullow, Co Carlow, was facing a jail term until the victim of the sexual assault came forward to state for the second time that he did not want to see the accused going to jail.
