A South African man who accused a Catholic priest of sexual abuse has received the apology he has sought for 27 years.
On Thursday‚ the now 84-year-old former Catholic priest issued an apology.
“I recognise that my behaviour towards Mr Segodisho in the 1980s violated the trust he had put in me as a Catholic priest. I deeply regret the pain that I have caused Mr Segodisho‚ and would like to apologise to Mr Segodisho unreservedly‚” the UK-based priest wrote.
Earlier this week‚ William Segodisho‚ now 46‚ detailed at a press briefing in Johannesburg how he had been abused by the priest in the 1980s.
