Paedophile priest gets 26 months in jailTOM LEE/FAIRFAX NZ Mark Mannix Brown, 74, was jailed when he appeared in the Hamilton District Court on Monday, on four charges of indecent assault and attempted sodomy. A former Catholic priest jailed for molesting boys in the 1970s and 80s has again been jailed for 26 months, on charges against three new historic victims. He had been jailed for 15 months in 1990 for sexual offending against altar boys. He stopped when the boy looked at him. The judge also subtracted two months in acknowledgement of Brown's age, and a further eight months to reflect his guilty plea - ending with a final sentence of 26 months in prison.
