Hunter paedophile priest, Vince Ryan has been freed on parole after serving less than half of his sentence for sexually abusing two children.
The 82-year-old served 14 months of a 3 year sentence for sexually abusing two altar boys while serving as a priest at The Junction and Cessnock in the 1970's and the early 1990's.
Ryan was driven from Long Bay Gaol at 6am on Tuesday and is prohibited from returning to the Hunter region.
The disgraced priest was found guilty in March 2019 of four counts of abusing two victims who came forward in 2016.
He previously served 14 years gaol for abusing more than 30 boys between 1973 and 1991.
