Taken at face value, the testimony of Richard Kerr on
abuse at Kincora Boys' Home in east Belfast in the 1970s is explosive
and compelling. He claims he was abused both there and in London by what
appears to have been an organised paedophile ring. And he says he has
evidence of MI5 involvement.
His story is tragic. As a teenager he was taken into care after his
family life collapsed. His eventual arrival at Kincora led to a life of
degradation, including abuse by numerous men and later working as a male
prostitute.
