Former priest jailed over historical sexual abuse of Wellington teenagers New Zealand

Ann-Marie Shelley, of Upper Hutt, talks about her decision to identify herself as the victim of Peter Hercock's abuse.  Four troubled Catholic schoolgirls each visited their priest's rooms, alone, seeking guidance.  What Peter Hercock did to the pupils of Sacred Heart in Lower Hutt instead left them feeling ashamed. On Monday, the women broke their silence to expose the former priest for sexual abuse going back decades.
