An altar boy who was sexually abused by a Catholic priest is suing the heirs of two long-dead Birmingham Archbishops.
The victim, aged in his 50s, has launched a damages claim against the estates of George Dwyer and Maurice Couve de Murville.
He asserts that the former clerics failed to “control” or “remove from post” paedophile priest Samuel Penney.
Seventy-five year-old Penney was jailed for seven-and-a-half years in 1993 after he admitted indecently assaulting seven children.
