SCOTLAND
The Courier
By MICHAEL ALEXANDER, 17 May 2014
A Scot who says he was subjected to sexual abuse, sadistic beatings and mental torture at the hands of a paedophile Catholic brother at a residential school in Fife during the 1970s is demanding a public inquiry into all cases of institutional abuse in Scotland.
David Sharp, who has described the catalogue of abuse as “Scotland’s shame”, has also told how he was trafficked to Ireland to be raped by up to five men — and believes some of his rapists were priests.
As police confirmed a report had gone to the procurator fiscal surrounding abuse allegations at the former school in Falkland, Mr Sharp told The Courier publicity had led to other alleged victims coming forward.
Mr Sharp, 55, originally from Glasgow and now living in England, says a man he knew as Christian Brother Ryan began preying on him when he was 10 and residing at St Ninian’s School in Falkland, run by the Irish Christian Brothers.
