A former Catholic school pupil from Merseyside who says he was sexually abused by a priest has broken his silence after more than 20 years.
It follows a compensation payout to a group of 11 men who were past pupils at Mirfield junior seminary in Yorkshire.
We can today reveal Liverpool’s links to the shocking sexual abuse claims.
Both a priest at the centre of the scandal and a former student – one of those who made the allegations – come from Merseyside.
The group of 11 have now settled out of court with the Verona Fathers, the Catholic order which ran the college, for payments totalling £120,000.
