Main article: Kincora Boys' Home
In 1971 McGrath found employment as a housemaster at Kincora Boys' Home in east Belfast.[29] In this role McGrath established the home as a centre of child sex abuse in which he and invited friends, allegedly including John McKeague,[citation needed] regularly raped several of the boys at the home.[30] In the course of the investigation surrounding the scandal, McGrath was dubbed "the Beast of Kincora" and it was alleged he had contacts with prominent politicians and political personalities in England such as Sir Anthony Blunt, who was known to McGrath through their mutual friend Sir Knox Cunningham.[31]
The investigation into the abuse began on 24 January 1980.[32] During the investigations McGrath remained an important figure in his Orange Lodge, the "Ireland's Heritage" Lodge, and in October 1981 was re-elected as secretary, although by this stage membership of the Lodge, which McGrath himself had named as part of his drive for a Protestant all-Ireland, had declined significantly to the point that only three people were regularly attending monthly meetings.[33] McGrath's case came to trial in December 1981 and, represented by Desmond Boal QC, he asked to be rearraigned, after which McGrath pleaded guilty to five charges of gross indecency, two of buggery and eight indecent assault charges.[34] McGrath was sentenced to four years imprisonment.[35]
