An American priest has been jailed for 12 years in East Timor after being found guilty of 'horrendous' child sex abuse at a remote orphanage he founded. Richard Daschbach, 84, was convicted of sexually abusing young girls in his care at the Topu Honis shelter, in the first case of its kind in the staunchly Catholic nation. He spent decades as a missionary in the country's remote enclave of Oecusse, setting up a shelter in the 1990s named Topu Honis, which means 'Guide to Life', where hundreds of young girls passed through his care.
