A PRIEST at the centre of the Cloyne Report will attempt to paint himself as a victim as he fights to stay in the priesthood, the Irish Independent has learned.
The cleric, known as Fr Ronat, was the subject of 11 separate child sex abuse allegations, and was questioned over his interest in hypnosis.
The complaints included claims of inappropriate contact and sexual intercourse.
But now he is set to question those claims, becoming the first priest to challenge allegations published in last year’s Cloyne Report.
