Independent Senator Nick Xenophon says he has named a priest at the centre of an alleged seminary rape scandal because the Catholic church failed to stand the man down while investigating the allegations.
Speaking under parliamentary privilege last night, Senator Xenophon named the priest as Monsignor Ian Dempsey, a parish priest in the Adelaide suburb of Brighton.
Senator Xenophon said there were allegations that Monsignor Dempsey raped the Archbishop of the Traditional Anglican Communion, John Hepworth, more than 40 years ago — via redwolf.newsvine.com
