A NUN forced a boy to perform oral sex on her at Neerkol Orphanage while another Sister of Mercy forced a child to eat his own vomit, a Royal Commission was told.
Joseph Kiernan, a former resident of the orphanage outside Rockhampton, has told the Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse of sadistic physical and sexual abuse at the notorious orphanage, west of Rockhampton, in the 1960s.
Another witness Diane Carpenter, 62, alleged she was once locked in a hot room and forced to drink her own urine to remain hydrated.
Other allegations aired yesterday in the commission, which has convened in the central Queensland city of Rockhampton for two weeks, include the alleged rape of a girl by a man wielding a broom stick.
