Fresh hope for Catholic school abuse victims as inquiry powers set to be extended
A former Catholic school pupil who says he was sexually abused by a priest from Merseyside has fresh hope the truth will finally be exposed. Home Secretary Theresa May
revealed a troubled inquiry into child sexual abuse across the UK could
be given extra powers, including the ability to force witnesses to give
evidence. The Sunday ECHO told earlier this year of how both a
priest at the centre of a scandal at Mirfield junior seminary in
Yorkshire and a former student there – one of those who made the
allegations – came from Merseyside.
