A former altar boy who was sexually abused by a priest has been awarded $2m

Victorian priest Desmond Gannon abused the victim three times in 1968 & 1970

The abuse survivor claimed the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne was liable

A former altar boy sexually abused by Victorian priest Desmond Gannon has been awarded nearly $2 million in damages in a civil case against Melbourne's archbishop.

 

The sex abuse survivor, who cannot be named for legal reasons, brought the case against Peter Comensoli, claiming the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne was vicariously liable for his abuse.

 

The victim said he felt like he was dead after Gannon first assaulted him - that the priest had murdered him and the little boy he used to be was gone forever.

 

He later contemplated suicide and abused alcohol as a way to numb his pain.

 

Gannon assaulted the victim on three occasions between 1968 and 1970 while the child was an altar boy and a pupil at a Catholic primary school in regional Victoria.

 

The former priest was sentenced for those crimes in 2009.

 

On one occasion, Gannon drove the boy down dirt roads out to a remote area, where he molested and raped him. At the time the boy was terrified Gannon would get a shovel, kill him and bury him.

 

The boy bled from the attack, and tried to hide it from his family in the following days.

 

On another occasion, Gannon's abuse only stopped when he was interrupted by another altar boy arriving at church.

 

The victim managed to escape Gannon's grasp on a third occasion when he lured him into a pump house with the promise of a cigarette.

 

Part of the victim's claim was that, in about 1960, Gannon sexually abused another young Catholic boy.

I hear ya, Anon o7.

QAnon is not a derogatory term invented by the Mockingbirds.

Almost all of the OG oldfags used it non-stop in the beginning.

The old banner and thousands of memes with it stand as proof of such.

Andโ€ฆ If Q hadn't dropped to say yo anons let's stop using it now m'kay? it would still be in the anon vernacular to this day.

This whole hurr durr it was always bad portion of the anti QAnon discussion is totally F&G.
