The only boy to be raped from the 11 adolescents who were abused by priests in Sta Venera's St Joseph Home, speaks for the first time in The Sunday Times tomorrow about how he was sexually assaulted by three priests when he was still an orphan in their care.

The youngest boy in the institute, he soon found out that heavy petting and sexual abuse to varying degrees were not unusual between boys and priests, and he got sucked into a system where there was no escape and nobody to trust.

In a separate interview, the Vatican's sex crime chief prosecutor, Mgr Charles Scicluna, gives his frank views on the case and how it was handled.
