A WOMAN has told how a nun in a home run by the Sisters of Nazareth in Glasgow used to take her to visit a nearby farm and leave her to be raped by the farmer.
The anonymous witness, known as Margaret at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, said the regular trips were on the pretext of gathering eggs, but she said she never carried any eggs and was “100 per cent sure” the nun knew about the rapes.
“I didn’t know that was what he was doing at the time,” she said. “But the nun also sexually assaulted me. She didn’t penetrate me but she mauled me all over my body on a regular basis.”
In a written statement which was read into the inquiry record, the woman said she was living at Nazareth House, in Cardonald, Glasgow, from the age of two, in 1943, and was told her mother had died giving birth to her.
