A Sunbury man who was abused as a child by a Ballarat diocese Catholic priest has urged people not to forget the survivors of the horrors that occurred at Salesian College.

Paul Levey said while the spotlight of the ongoing Royal Commission into sex abuse had shone brightly on Ballarat, there was a feeling that Sunbury had been forgotten by some.

‘‘I’ve had guys come up to me and say ‘Paul, what about Sunbury? No-one is talking about Salesian’,’’ he said.

A large number of Salesian College principals, boarding masters and brothers, who were at the college between 1960 and 1990, have faced court on scores of sexual abuse charges.
