Lawyers are gathering information to launch a class action against the Catholic Diocese of Bunbury for sex crimes allegedly committed by a former Esperance priest.
Porters Lawyers are preparing the lawsuit on behalf of three people who say they were victims of institutionalised sexual abuse by Father William “Kevin” Glover, who died in 1999.
Porters Lawyers principle Jason Parkinson said Father Glover was never convicted, but betrayed the Esperance community.
“They were harbouring a viper to their breast,” Mr Parkinson said.
“He was loved by all and that’s what upset so many people. He hoodwinked the Esperance population.
“These paedophiles always cultivate the halo effect. In the dark, they’re committing the most serious crimes.”
