NOTORIOUS paedophile priest Brendan Smyth “candidly” admitted to raping young children like a serial killer confessing to a string of murders.

That is one of the chilling memories of the whistleblower whose confrontation with the priest led to his conviction.

Jude Whyte (55), a social work lecturer, said a former adult student told him about the sexual abuse of his children at the hands of the disgraced priest in 1994.

Mr Whyte, who now teaches at the Department of Health and Social Care at Belfast Metropolitan College, confronted Smyth a couple of days later. Mr Whyte repeated the allegations to the priest.
