Australian priest raped victims weekly, abuse enquiry hears

A Catholic priest repeatedly raped and abused victims in south Australia, a royal commission into responses to abuse heard. Searson's abuse is among a number of other cases being investigated by the royal commission into institutional responses to abuse
Peter Searson, formerly parish priest at Holy Family church in Doveton, Victoria, abused parishioners and altar boys to such an extent where one victim told the commission he sits at home in the dark with the door locked because it is the only place he feels safe, the Guardian reports.
