Vulnerable children were sexually assaulted just weeks after arriving at Kincora Boys’ Home, a public inquiry has heard.
Detailed and graphic accounts of a litany of abuse by staff members during the 1970s were given to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) which is examining allegations of state sponsored child prostitution and cover up.
In statements, boys described how house master Raymond McGrath preyed on them as they watched television, while they were in bed and in the bathroom.
For some it was a frequent occurrence, the inquiry was told.
It was further claimed that after assaulting boys, McGrath would walk away laughing.
