FOUR decades after David McNamara was sexually abused as a young boy by a “ring” of Catholic Church paedophiles, the Northern Rivers man has filed his allegations, for the first time, with police after being officially released from a church “gag” order last month.

Mr McNamara claims he was first sexually abused by Father Roger “Gabriel” Mount in a sick bed at the Kendall Grange home for intellectually disabled boys near Newcastle when he was 12 years old.

“Just before I was pubescent, I was sexually abused, by Roger Mount, when I was in a sick bed,” he said.

“And then after that, he would sort of abuse me whenever it was convenient.

“He would come to my bed at night and touch me again, and after a while, he got me to touch his penis.
