The scandal at St Patrick’s College in Maynooth is set to take another twist this week and deepen even further as a former trainee priest will reportedly make a written statement to Gardaí claiming that he was sexually harassed by a member of staff.
The staff member is still employed at the college, according to the Mail On Sunday, and they have not been contacted by Gardaí at this stage either.
The news comes on the back of allegations that suggested a trainee priest was posting partially nude pictures of himself of the gay dating app Grindr, while Archbishop Diarmuid Martin will no longer send trainee priests from his dioceses to Maynooth to study because of the toxic atmosphere there.
