SCOTLAND/IRELAND
Daily Record
A PRIEST at the centre of child sex abuse claims has left the country.
The clergyman moved back to his native Ireland. Police have started an investigation but have not questioned him.
Catholic Church officials claimed the priest’s move was pre-planned and had nothing to do with the claims.
The clergyman, who is in his 80s, has been accused of being part of a ring of paedophile priests who abused Pat McEwan as a boy more than 50 years ago.
Pat, now 63, claimed the priests molested him many times.
