A paedophile priest who abused children for more than 30 years had a calling that came “from the devil”, one of his victim’s said.
Francis Paul Cullen was jailed for 15 years for abusing five boys and two girls during his Catholic priesthood in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
Derby Crown Court heard his victims struggled to deal with what happened and one tried to take their own life.
The court heard Cullen abused the youngsters at home and in his caravan.
Cullen, 85, then went on the run in 1991 and evaded justice for 20 years, before he was caught living on the Spanish island of Tenerife.
