SINGAPORE
Malaysia Chronicle
A woman has written a book in which she makes an explosive claim – she was sexually abused by two Catholic priests when she was a teenager growing up in Singapore.
And when she told her mother about the first incident, she was chided for tempting the priest.
She was then sent for counselling with another priest, who also sexually abused her.
The author is Ms Jane Leigh, a 36-year-old single mother of two teenagers. She now lives in Melbourne, where she runs her own practice as a clinical psychotherapist.
Her book, My Nine Lives, which carries the subhead “A psychotherapist’s journey from victim to survivor”, was published last year.
