Five child sex abuse victims have launched a High Court bid for compensation over abuse at a Catholic school in East Yorkshire.
More than 200 men claim they were abused at St William’s residential school in Market Weighton between 1970 and 1991, run by the De La Salle order.
The order has apologised “unreservedly” to those affected by the abuse and for the actions of its former principal.
James Carragher is in jail for sex offences against children at the home.
If the compensation claim succeeds, the eventual payout could run into millions of pounds.
