Robert Brennan, 84, must spend the first 24 months of his sentence on home detention wearing an ankle monitor. He had been accused by a Philadelphia grand jury of molesting at least 20 boys.
Mike and Debbie McIlmail, parents of Sean McIlmail, in the Philadelphia office of Marci Hamilton on Tuesday.A former Catholic priest who was defrocked in 2017 amid allegations that he had sexually molested young boys for years while the church moved him from parish to parish was sentenced Thursday to five years’ probation for lying to the FBI.
Sean McIlmail told authorities the priest assaulted him beginning in 1998, when he was a middle-school student at Resurrection of Our Lord School in Rhawnhurst, and continuing until 2001. Those allegations led to criminal charges in 2013, but a month later, McIlmail died of a drug overdose at age 26 and the case could not go forward.
The following year, as federal authorities conducted an investigation of sexual abuse by priests in the Philadelphia Archdiocese and interviewed Brennan, FBI agents visited the former priest at his Perryville, Md., home and asked him about McIlmail. Outside the courtroom, she and her husband said they were angry that Brennan did not apologize, and that his punishment was probation, not prison.
