A man abused as an altar boy says he’s been vindicated after winning a record payout after more than 40 years.
The man was nine years old when he was first abused by Western Australian priest Bertram Adderley in the Holy Cross Catholic Church Sacristy in Hamilton Hill, Perth, in the 1970s.
“No longer is he a shadow looming over me,” the man told 9News.
“There’s a big glaring spotlight that I’ve turned on him.”
Adderley on another occasion took the boy to Swanbourne nudist beach before assaulting him in his apartment.
