A former Derby altar boy who was subjected to years of sexual abuse by a paedophile priest has received £95,000 in compensation from the Catholic Church.

Father Francis Cullen was jailed for 15 years in 2014 after admitting abusing five boys and two girls over a 34-year period.

Four of his victims were targeted while he worked at Christ the King church in Mackworth.

And now one former altar boy, who was just eight years old when Cullen started to molest him, has been given compensation by the Catholic Church.
