An alleged victim has gone to authorities over an apparent cover-up by the Catholic Church over abuse by a paedophile priest 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.
