A CATHOLIC priest repeatedly sexually abused a young boy in his care
breaching that trust in a "horrific way”, it has been claimed.
The boy was just 13 and 14 years old when Father Michael Higginbottom allegedly began seriously abusing him in varied ways at a seminary in West Lancashire. The victim “recalls the college as a cold, dark and forbidding place. He told police that for him it was the venue for ‘mental, physical and sexual abuse’,” claimed David Temkin, prosecuting.
