Former social worker and Catholic priest Philip Temple was jailed on Wednesday after he admitted abusing children over three decades.

He also admitted lying on oath during trial in the 1990s when he was cleared of child sex abuse charges against a teenage boy.

The boy, now a man in his 30s, has been speaking to the BBC about the case.
