Canon Dermod Fogarty’s legacy has been dramatically rewritten since his death
Dermod Fogarty, a fixture in the Brighton and Arundel diocese for 67 years, has been a figure of major controversy.
A dramatic video has revealed the destruction of the ex-senior churchman’s gravestone.
Following his death in 2012, a series of startling revelations surfaced.
An Oxford academic, Stephen Bernard, claims that Fogarty sexually abused him.
The abuse allegedly began when Bernard was aged just 11.
The claims were made in the acclaimed Paper Cuts, a book released by Bernard in 2018.
