THE priest known as Father F, the subject of a police investigation into child sex offences dating to the 1970s, is facing fresh allegations of abuse.
Mark Boughton, who was a student at the Catholic primary school in Moree in northern NSW during the late 1970s, last night told the ABC Father F – as he is known for legal reasons – forced him to perform oral sex numerous times when he was an 11-year-old altar boy.
Last week, NSW police established Strike Force Glenroe to investigate the alleged child abuse by Father F of several altar boys in parishes across the state.
Mr Boughton said Father F had abused him after gaining the trust of the boy’s parents. “I thought he was trying to do the right thing and draw the community closer to everyone,” he told the ABC’s 7.30 last night.
