A housemaster has been found to have abused children decades ago at a Catholic orphanage, run by the “nuns and priests from Hell”.
James McCann, 80, who worked at the St Francis Boys’ Home, Shefford, Bedfordshire, in the 1960s, was found unfit to plea due to ill health.
But a trial of the facts found 42 of 50 charges of physical and sexual assaults on 25 boys to be proven.
The judge granted McCann an absolute discharge on all of the counts.
