An American woman is alleging she was sexually abused by a group of nuns from a New Jersey convent – including an incident where she was given booze and drugs while being taught how to have sex with another woman.
Trisha Cahill told CBS News she was 15 when she revealed to a nun that she was reportedly abused by her uncle, who was a priest. The woman claimed she confided in Sister Eileen Shaw, telling her that her now dead uncle had sexually abused her starting at age 5.
What Cahill didn’t think at the time was that Shaw would allegedly be grooming her for something far worse.
“I would have done anything for her. I would’ve died for her,” said Cahill. “She gave me everything that was lacking that I didn’t even know I was lacking.
“I was so broken. She filled in all those pieces.”
Cahill said the nun began giving her drugs and alcohol and taught her how to have sexual relations with another woman. The woman said she would be with her friends during the day, but was “with this pedophile nun on evenings and on the weekends, and in the summer.
