Victims’ suffering will continue as sex abuser looks to his freedom

SANTA Claus came early to James Kelly in a big way. Otherwise known as Brother Ambrose, he is a convicted paedophile who should have died ignominiously in jail some time in the future, a demise appropriate for a man who wrecked so many young lives through his perverted sexual deviance.

Instead, the man who wreaked a reign of sexual terror on boys as young as eight years, while they were in his care, could be on the outside before Christmas.

It won’t be such a good Christmas for his victims, but then it’s unlikely that any of them have been good for the young boys who had their innocence violated, never mind a belief in Santa Claus.
