A 51-year-old woman says the priest disgraced in the Angelika Kluk murder trial repeatedly raped her when she was a child.

The Catholic Church is bracing itself for a compensation action over claims the priest disgraced in the Angelika Kluk murder trial repeatedly raped a schoolgirl.

The Archdiocese of Glasgow has been paying for the victim to attend counselling sessions after she made allegations against the late Father Gerry Nugent three years ago.

Now a 51-year-old mum is to launch a civil action against the church over the alleged attacks which she says destroyed her life.

The woman – who asked to be identified only as Teresa – said Nugent manoeuvred his way into her life when she went to stay with her gran as a vulnerable 11-year-old.
