A man sexually abused in a church-run institution was ignored by police and warned he would be charged if he continued to make abuse allegations, a royal commission has heard.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse entered its third day of hearings in Perth today.
Edward Delaney was a child migrant from England when he was sent to a Christian Brothers institution at Castledare, and then sent on to Bindoon.
He has told the commission he was physically and sexually abused by the brothers at Bindoon over a prolonged period.
“I felt despair and like I could not go on,” Mr Delaney said.
“At the age of nine I started to think about killing myself.”
