A Catholic priest sacked by the church after serious sexual abuse allegations is living in Armidale in NSW where he has become a prominent citizen, according to ABC TV’s Four Corners program.
THE program aired reports that the priest, identified only as Father F, raped young boys in Moree in the 1980s before being transferred to a parish in Parramatta where he continued to sodomise altar boys.
Some of the youths he raped went on to lead tortured lives before committing suicide, it’s alleged.
In one case, Four Corners said Father F performed oral sex on 11-year-old altar boy Daniel Powell and then lay on top of him, kissing him and holding him.
