Former pupils of a leading Catholic secondary school in south Manchester, who are suing church bosses over sex abuse claims, have spoken of their horror experiences.
Ex-students of St Bede’s College in Whalley Range say they suffered appalling treatment at the hands of priests at the school.
Harrowing claims from three former pupils, who have bravely waived their right to anonymity, describe in detail how they suffered at the hands of senior staff.
They are among a group of former pupils who are suing the Catholic diocese of Salford, which previously operated the former boys school, which is now an independent mixed-sex school.
The allegations dating back to the 1950s focus mainly on former senior staff members, Father Vincent Hamilton, Monsignor Thomas Duggan and Father Charles Mulholland, all of who are now dead.
