A CATHOLIC priest whose abuse of girls was revealed after his victims swapped memories on the Friends Reunited website has been jailed for a year.
Father Peter Carr rubbed stage-paint on to pupils` naked bodies before plays at a school in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, between 1969 and 1975, the BBC reported.
Carr was brought to justice after two women got back in contact through the website and spoke out about the abuse.
The girls the priest abused were all aged 11 or 12 at the time.
In jailing Carr, Gloucester Crown Court judge Martin Picton said the priest had done the Church "much damage``.
The victims of his crimes had been "degraded and humiliated``, Picton said.
The two women complained to police, who found that other girls had been abused at the school. Carr, whose duties included teaching drama, was convicted of eight counts of indecently assaulting six different girls at a retrial in December 2007 after an earlier jury failed to reach a verdict.
Last week, Carr, a member of the Salesian Order, admitted two counts of indecently assaulting a seventh girl who came forward later.
One of the first two victims, now 49, said Carr had become a "monster in her mind`` during the decades she did not mention the abuse.
Prosecutor Ian Dixey told the court: "They were torn between desire to take part in productions which they enjoyed and the discomfort of having to be totally naked before a strange man``.
Carr has also been issued with a ban to stop him from working or living with children.
