Australian archbishop Philip Wilson has become the highest-ranking member of the Catholic Church to be convicted of covering up sex abuse.
On Tuesday, the archbishop of Adelaide was given a maximum sentence of 12 months in detention.
A victim of that concealed abuse tells the BBC how his story was ignored more than 40 years ago - and the destruction that caused.
