I was raped by priest in orphanage

A DISABLED mother-of-two has claimed she was raped by a priest and sexually abused by a female care worker when she was a young child in a Scottish orphanage.
Joanne Peacher said the appalling attacks took place in the late 1970s in a Nazareth House children's home, which have been at the centre of several previous abuse scandals. The Sisters of Nazareth, the Roman Catholic order of nuns which operated dozens of orphanages across Britain, recently apologised to children who suffered in their institutions in Northern Ireland.
