A BBC investigation has revealed fresh concerns about the way the Catholic Church handles child sex abuse cases.
Retired Ayrshire priest Fr Paul Moore admitted abusing children to Bishop Maurice Taylor nearly 20 years ago, but the claims were initially covered up.
Fr Moore’s victim has spoken publicly for the first time about the abuse, and the BBC has learned the priest is still being looked after by the church.
Bishop Taylor accepted the diocese had bought Fr Moore a house to live in.
However, he said he had ordered him not to be involved in public ministry again.
