Katanning hostel pedophile Dennis McKenna gets extra nine years jail ANOTHER NINE: Serial pedophile Dennis John McKenna has been sentenced to another nine years jail, meaning he will serve 22 years behind bars. He's just a monster. A real bloody evil monster. That is how Brian Johns described Western Australia's worst serial pedophile, Dennis McKenna, who abused him and at least 27 other boys at St Andrew's Hostel in Katanning when he was the warden between 1975 and 1990. McKenna, 68, was sentenced in the Perth District Court on Monday to an additional nine years' jail to be served accumulatively with his July 2011 sentence of six years and four months for similar sexual offending. He was previously jailed in 1991 for molesting boys, which means he has now been sentenced to 22 years and one month in prison for committing 63 offences against 28 victims. The sentence came after McKenna pleaded guilty to 34 new charges including several counts of unlawful indecent dealings, carnal knowledge against the order of nature and gross indecency. McKenna's abuse included forcing boys to watch pornography with him and plying them with alcohol before sexually abusing them. In sentencing, Judge Kevin Sleight said McKenna had committed a "gross breach of trust." He said the serial pedophile had manipulated people and situations for his own sexual gratification and had blackmailed people. Judge Sleight said it was staggering that McKenna was able to commit his crimes for so long. Citing victim impact statements, he noted that many victims suffered from depression, feelings of embarrassment and shame, self-doubt about their parenting abilities and confusion over their own sexuality. He also noted that McKenna was a victim of sexual abuse as a child and was a low risk of re-offending, as indicated in a psychiatric report. But Judge Sleight said there had never been a case like this in WA history. McKenna's lawyer Patti Chong previously read a statement to the court from McKenna to his victims, in which he said he regretted breaching their trust and asked for their forgiveness. Ms Chong reiterated McKenna's remorse on Monday but Judge Sleight said it had been "a long time coming." While the serial pedophile had not re-offended since 1990, it was most likely because he did not have the opportunity, Judge Sleight said. McKenna will be eligible for parole after serving 13 years and four months in prison from July 2011. As he left the packed-out court, people hurled abuse at McKenna and called him a dog. Outside court, Mr Johns said he was scarred for life after being abused as a 14-year-old boy and believed McKenna should be jailed for life. "It's been a real painful life," he said. The community's not safe, no way.' Ms Chong told reporters her client was truly remorseful. "What else do these people want him to do?" she said. The case prompted an inquiry last year into whether authorities had known about sexual abuse at the Katanning hostel and other state-run facilities. WA Premier Colin Barnett apologised to the victims and said they could apply for up to $45,000 in compensation.
