DAVID Sharp says he was trafficked to Ireland where he was raped by up to five men, some of whom he believes were priests.

A TRAUMATISED Scot has told how a paedophile Catholic brother trafficked him to Ireland to be raped by up to five men.

David Sharp believes some of his rapists were priests.

He says Christian Brother Frank Ryan began preying on him at a residential school when he was 10, grooming him and then subjecting him to sexual abuse in his room and sadistic beatings in a basement shower block.

“This man told me when to breathe and when not to breathe,” he told the Record.

“He had control of everything I did. And when he told me to go to his room, I went.”
