Brother blamed for death

The spotlight on sexual abuse within the Catholic Church is widening to include fresh allegations against the Christian Brothers in Dunedin. An ODT Insight investigation, as part of the ongoing "Marked by the Cross" series, has uncovered allegations of historic sexual abuse, dating back to the 1970s, levelled against two Christian Brothers. A Dunedin mother, speaking on condition of anonymity, said she blamed her son’s suicide on the sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of one of the men, Br Desmond Fay, in the 1970s.
