VICTIMS of historic sex abuse have held a demonstration at a Beverley church today.
Joined by their lawyer, they handed out leaflets to residents as they visited the Roman Catholic Church of St John of Beverley, in North Bar Without.
It follows numerous convictions following sexual abuse cases at St William’s approved school in Market Weighton, where the victims are yet to receive an apology or compensation.
Both establishments are part of the Diocese of Middlesbrough hence the location of the demonstration.
The leaflets read: “St William’s was opened in about 1960 by the Diocese of Middlesbrough as a community home for young boys aged between 13 to 16 years.
“They were sent there by many local authorities that had trust in them to care for children but that was never the case.
