	Man Tells Court He Only Denied Abuse to Get Home Irish Examiner May 28, 2007 http://www.irishexaminer.com/breaking/story.asp?j=254872505&p=z548733zx&n=254873391&x= A man on trial for falsely claiming a priest buggered him has repeated the allegation in direct evidence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court and claimed he only told gardai this wasn't true so as to get home. He outlined what he says happened on seven alleged successive visits to the priest's house when he was six years old, including anal rape and attempted oral rape when he claimed he told the priest he would bite his penis off if he put it into his mouth. He said that, despite attending several psychiatrists over a number of years, he first "revealed" the alleged sexual abuse to a counsellor whose name he picked from the 'Golden Pages' and then told this complete stranger "everything from the start because it was easier to talk to a counsellor than to a psychiatrist". He also said that shortly after he told his mother in March 2003 about the sexual abuse she had a stroke and that both his father and he had been verbally abused by gardai who said to him he was "a fucking liar".
