INQUIRY Ex-altar boy breaks down in tears as he tells Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry of experiences at Smyllum Park

AN ex-altar boy broke down in tears as he told the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry of his experiences at Smyllum Park in Lanark. William Connelly waived his anonymity to tell of beatings and sexual abuse.
The 69-year-old, who stayed at the children’s home from 1958, spoke of almost daily beatings by nuns and others. He also claimed a priest would perform a sex act on himself when hearing confession.
