Full story of Kincora Boys’ Home in east Belfast yet to be told, says child sex abuse victim
BY ADRIAN RUTHERFORD – 16 JULY 2014
A UK-wide inquiry into child sex abuse will lack credibility unless it examines allegations surrounding Kincora Boys’ Home, it has been claimed.
Pressure is mounting for the notorious east Belfast home to be included in the Government’s review, with one victim saying the full story around Kincora has yet to emerge.
Clint Massey, who waived his right to anonymity to speak about how he was abused, said: “I strongly believe there’s a lot more to come out.”
Amnesty’s Northern Ireland director Patrick Corrigan also warned that any inquiry must examine Kincora.
William McGrath was one of three staff members jailed in 1981 for abusing boys at Kincora
“For an inquiry to take place into child sexual abuse and potential cover-ups by the establishment and not include Kincora would mean that that inquiry lacks credibility,” he said.
Supporting the calls, East Belfast DUP MLA Robin Newton said the perpetrators behind Kincora’s grim past must be held accountable.
