The RUC and state agencies knew about sexual abuse at a boys’ home in County Down, in 1964, an abuse inquiry has heard.
They were alerted after a 14-year-old boy was abused by a De La Salle brother at Rubane House.
The details were revealed at the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) Inquiry.
A total of 13 Northern Ireland institutions are being investigated.
On Thursday, the inquiry heard that the order removed the perpetrator from the home and he was eventually expelled from the order.
