One of the alleged victims of the defrocked paedophile priest Dominic Camilleri told MaltaToday that the Gozo Bishop, Mario Grech, had been informed about the sexual abuse of children resident at Dar San Guzepp in Ghajnsielem, in 2006.
However, the alleged victim said that although an ad hoc commission appointed by Grech had concluded that the sexual abuse had taken place at the home, no action was taken against at least two other perpetrators and “the victims still await justice”.
Some 10 years ago, 42-year-old Noel Gauci had gone public about the abuse he suffered, however he told MaltaToday that he has little hope in seeing justice being done.
“Apart from Camilleri, at least two other priests were involved in the abuse and both of them are still in active pastoral duty,” Gauci told MaltaToday.
He explained that Camilleri – who was dismissed by the Vatican over several allegations of sexual abuse on minors – visited Dar San Guzepp frequently before 1990.
