How ex-Celtic paedophile kitman Jim McCafferty finally confessed to 50 years of child abuse to Belfast Live
In the days following the extraordinary confession of a life-long paedophile, I was repeatedly asked why Jim McCafferty chose me to confess to.This monster had spent more than 50 years abusing boys and young men, forcing them to weigh up the choice between his brutal attention and the risk of losing their dream of a career in football.Many managed to stay out of his way, others were not so fortunate and today some of those young men are dead too.
In the end his confessor was me, a stranger in Belfast. It was finally over. With the evidence he offered, he knew he would spend the rest of his life in jail, having enjoyed the luxury of warmth, food, shelter and medical care all at the taxpayers expense. The former Celtic youth coach and kitman took less than one hour to explain perverted activities he had participated in, claiming they were merely a matter of “a bit of hilarity”, fun of their day, no harm done.McCafferty was anxious about his personal safety, asking if his confession would appear in my paper the following day, worried that he would have to leave his home, and knowing the conversation was leading only one way - straight to a police station for questioning and jail.
Exactly 17 minutes later, the happy noise coming from a neighbouring table of kids was interrupted by a phone call. With a solicitor secured, I told McCafferty his next move would be a visit to the PSNI where his confession would take matters on to a legal footing - and from there there would be no turning back.
“I have been bad to people who didn’t deserve it and I want to apologise. I hope in time the people I hurt will find a way to forgive me although I will understand if they don’t.
