A British father-of-two has confronted an Italian priest who allegedly sexually abused him when he was a teenager.
Mark Murray claims he was systematically abused by Father Romano Nardo at Mirfield, a Catholic seminary school in Yorkshire.
Mr Murray, 59, spent years trying to bring the alleged abuse, which took place in 1970, to the attention of the Vatican authorities.
He finally decided to turn up in person at a religious institution in Verona, northern Italy, where Father Nardo, now 73, lives.
He managed to confront the elderly priest, telling him: “You have had a massive, negative impact on my life and my family and my children. I tried many times to meet with you.”
Mr Murray covertly filmed the encounter with a tiny camera hidden inside a wristwatch, provided to him by La Repubblica, which published the footage online on Wednesday.
