‘I thought I was the only one‘: Woman feels validated after Fr Shaun Curran named among 15 Jesuits credibly accused of abuse
He was the director in the 1980s of St Declan’s special school for Traveller children aged between 12 and 15, in Booterstown, Dublin. Anne said the abuse began in the 1970s when she was about 11 years old and being raised without a father. “He always used to check my homework showed a lot of interest in the work I was doing. He was the first male, I suppose, who was interested in my studying.”
After Curran died, she complained to the Jesuits about him and was told no previous complaints had been made about him.“I thought I was the only one to complain, and that made me feel guilty. You just doubt yourself. I knew was wrong and abnormal.”
