Three nuns, a priest
and a scoutmaster were complicit in “brutalising” boys at a Catholic
home in the grip of a “cruel and vindictive regime”, a court has heard.
Details of the alleged goings on at St Francis children’s home in Shefford, Bedfordshire, were aired publicly in the trial of former carer James McCann. McCann, 80, is accused of 52 charges of violent and sexual assault on 26 boys aged between eight and 12 in the 1960s and 70s.
