I was abused by a Chilean priest for decades

Assignment

Available for over a year

In Chile, more than 100 Catholic clergy are being investigated over alleged sex crimes and attempts to cover them up. It's a scandal that haunts the reign of Pope Francis and has tipped the Chilean church into crisis. But it began decades ago with one man - Father Fernando Karadima, a parish priest in Santiago, who became Chile's most notorious sexual predator. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Linda Pressly has been speaking to Dr James Hamilton about the abuse that he experienced at the hands of Fernando Karadima. (Photo shows: James Hamilton as a young man.
