Patrick McCabe, a family friend, sexually abused James in a car during a visit to his boarding school. 

Today he waived his right to anonymity after McCabe was jailed for 18 months.

Through his barrister McCabe apologised again for the pain and hurt he caused and asked for the men's forgiveness. 


Sentencing McCabe today, Judge Margaret Heneghan described the abuse as utterly abhorrent.
