Another man has alleged that a former NSW Catholic priest, named as “Father F” in media reports, sexually abused him while he was an altar boy in the 1980s.
IN a report aired on ABC’s 7.30 program on Monday, a man who wanted to be known only as “Bill” said he was abused by a former Catholic priest in the northern NSW town of Moree during the mid-1980s.
The ABC has previously reported that the accused clergyman was sacked by the church in 2005 after serious sexual abuse allegations and is now a prominent citizen in Armidale.
Hours before the program went to air, Father F’s identity was revealed by Melbourne broadcaster Derryn Hinch, who was jailed in the 1980s for naming a Melbourne paedophile priest.
