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 BBC'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.
