The ABC can reveal an alleged victim has gone to authorities over an apparent cover-up in the Catholic Church over a self-confessed paedophile known as Father F.
The Church told a Four Corners report it could not act on the allegations as it did not know the identity of any of Father F’s victims.
There has never been a successful prosecution, mainly because victims have not been willing to go to police.
But 7.30 can reveal that an alleged victim has gone to authorities.
For 30 years, Mark Boughton has struggled with the memories of what Father F did to him as an 11-year-old altar boy.
