:01:33. > :01:42.He said he had owned up to the RUC in 1985 but nothing happened.

:02:12. > :02:14.called Bawnmore in Newtownabbey. The recent historic institutional abuse
:02:15. > :02:20.enquiry heard a man who worked there are confessed to police in 1985 he
:02:21. > :02:24.had sexually abused children but escaped justice. He couldn't be
:02:25. > :02:28.named until the BBC's successfully applied to have his anonymity
:02:29. > :02:33.lifted. Last night we revealed who he is and where he's living.
:02:34. > :02:41.Tonight, we ask, why he was never convicted. For nearly 50 years,
:02:42. > :02:45.Henry Clarke have carried a secret. He is a paedophile who has never
:02:46. > :02:48.been held accountable for his crimes. We discovered his past and
:02:49. > :02:54.will be confronted him, he agreed to talk publicly for the first time. I
:02:55. > :02:59.broadly at that time would not have used the word paedophile because I'd
:03:00. > :03:05.never thought of it. As the years have gone on, I realise that that is
:03:06. > :03:11.the proper word for what I've done. Always in the back of my mind I knew
:03:12. > :03:15.what I was doing was wrong. Billy Brown was one of Henry Clark's
:03:16. > :03:19.victims and remembers being terrified. He has agreed to waive
:03:20. > :03:26.his right to anonymity to speak to the BBC. Even if you called you in
:03:27. > :03:31.for his dinner, you stayed away from him. You had to stay away from him.
:03:32. > :03:35.You went to bed at night, you killed your blankets as tightly around you
:03:36. > :03:37.as you could. I know that very fact, I that.
:03:38. > :03:40.The police knew Henry Clarke's crimes in 1985 when he confessed
:03:41. > :03:43.to the RUC during a family holiday in Northern Ireland.
:03:44. > :03:48.I admitted that I had interfered with a boy at
:03:49. > :03:54.Bawnmore House and one at Firmount Hostel.
:03:55. > :04:04.And then at a later date, I omitted to mention something else and I
:04:05. > :04:06.wrote a letter to the RUC and told them that I had missed telling them
:04:07. > :04:09.about this other boy. I am not sure, my wife and I thought
:04:10. > :04:14.that I would probably finish So a man confesses to
:04:15. > :04:18.police, expects them to act upon what he has told
:04:19. > :04:21.them and are surprised when there is not
:04:22. > :04:24.a knock at his door. Clues as to how the RUC
:04:25. > :04:31.responded to his admissions are contained in some of
:04:32. > :04:33.the documents released at the recent Historical Institutional Abuse
:04:34. > :04:37.Inquiry carried out in The inquiry heard his first two
:04:38. > :04:44.confessions of abuse were made in 1985, but the Director
:04:45. > :04:46.of Public Prosecutions He admitted to sexually abusing two
:04:47. > :04:55.boys. According to evidence
:04:56. > :05:01.heard at the inquiry, one of the offences happened
:05:02. > :05:03.17 years before the the DPP felt it would be
:05:04. > :05:17.inappropriate to pursue Having looked in the papers in this
:05:18. > :05:22.case and on any reading, the DPP decision not to prosecute here is
:05:23. > :05:27.devoid of any rationale or indeed any legal principle. One leading
:05:28. > :05:33.barrister we spoke to said the passage of time it doesn't matter in
:05:34. > :05:40.this case. Simply to say a 17 year delay exists without more doesn't
:05:41. > :05:46.actually hold weight from a legal perspective. The evidence and
:05:47. > :05:53.material is clearly there. All I would say is that there is no
:05:54. > :06:00.Statute of Limitations applicable here. Jim Gamble is one of the UK's
:06:01. > :06:05.leading experts. He believes the DPP should have mounted a prosecution.
:06:06. > :06:10.In this instance you had an admission, you didn't need to go
:06:11. > :06:15.back, you didn't have to worry that the allegation was old and the
:06:16. > :06:19.evidence might be stale, you had a contemporary admission. Given that,
:06:20. > :06:24.I don't understand why it wasn't prosecuted. Henry Clarke returned to
:06:25. > :06:29.Canada, but he had more to tell the police. From there, he wrote them a
:06:30. > :06:34.letter of confession, admitting a third instance of abuse at a Boys'
:06:35. > :06:41.Brigade camp in Newcastle, County Down. Given the state prosecutor's
:06:42. > :06:44.previous refusal to make a case against Henry Clark, this time the
:06:45. > :06:47.police didn't even tell the DPP about this confession. Documents
:06:48. > :06:49.from the time Surbey police said they should be no further action. A
:06:50. > :07:07.senior police officer said... We have in the documentation in a
:07:08. > :07:14.statement by a very senior RUC detective who oversees this
:07:15. > :07:20.investigation, making it quite clear that, in his view, this is not an
:07:21. > :07:27.offence punishable by law. That is quite clearly wrong and it doesn't
:07:28. > :07:29.make any sense. The decision not to seek prosecution made Henry Clarke
:07:30. > :07:34.was free to resume his life in Canada. There are unanswered
:07:35. > :07:38.questions on this side of the Atlantic as well. Why was a
:07:39. > :07:44.self-confessed paedophile allowed to live his life and challenged in
:07:45. > :07:48.Canada as if nothing had happened? And, crucially, why would the
:07:49. > :07:54.Canadian authorities not told about Henry Clarke's history of serial
:07:55. > :07:57.child abuse? It is an error of judgment, I don't know how many of
:07:58. > :08:02.us would have cheered the information back then, given that
:08:03. > :08:06.the level of maturity and understanding of this was very low.
:08:07. > :08:13.Today, I would expect that information to be shared. The PSNI
:08:14. > :08:18.said it is now reviewing the case, including how it shares information
:08:19. > :08:23.with the Canadian police. We investigated the allegations in the
:08:24. > :08:27.1980s, it was a different world. But we did investigate them thoroughly.
:08:28. > :08:32.We need to look at why that was not successful and why there was no
:08:33. > :08:38.prosecution and we need to look at what opportunities may know exist
:08:39. > :08:47.and we need to respond with those matters anyway that doesn't... Since
:08:48. > :08:51.no one in Canada was made aware of Henry Clarke's admissions to police,
:08:52. > :08:55.he continued to live his life without anyone in authority knowing
:08:56. > :08:59.about his confessions. A pastor at four different churches and went on
:09:00. > :09:02.to adopt a 13-year-old boy, something he says he probably would
:09:03. > :09:06.not have been able to do if the Canadians had known about his
:09:07. > :09:11.background. When he first emigrated to Canada, he ran a home for boys in
:09:12. > :09:16.northern Ontario. The charity responsible said that as far as it
:09:17. > :09:21.was aware it had no reports of sexual abuse allegations against
:09:22. > :09:28.Henry Clarke. Have you ever abused any children in Canada? No, you have
:09:29. > :09:34.asked me that three or four times. But do you still have desires
:09:35. > :09:41.towards children? In the sands of setting up and seeing children as a
:09:42. > :09:46.sexual object, no, but do I see children with the old feelings, from
:09:47. > :09:52.time to time, yes, but I don't act out on it because I know now that
:09:53. > :09:58.that is wrong. Our children safe around you if you still have those
:09:59. > :10:01.desires? Absolutely. Know the details of his crimes are public,
:10:02. > :10:17.Henry Clarke said he is fearful of what will happen next. I don't know
:10:18. > :10:22.what's happening today. Sitting here with you, I am taking
:10:23. > :10:24.responsibility. He is left wondering if his past will become part of his
:10:25. > :10:26.future. There is an update to this story,
:10:27. > :10:30.which is just breaking. Yes, Donna, the PPS has just been
:10:31. > :10:34.in touch with us to say they are considering a formal review
:10:35. > :10:37.of the case against Henry Clarke and they've written
:10:38. > :10:40.to the Chief Constable about the failure of the police
:10:41. > :10:43.in 1985 to pass evidence to the DPP. I'll just read the statement
:10:44. > :10:46.they have sent to us: "The PPS is concerned to learn
:10:47. > :10:49.that the police did not forward significant evidence
:10:50. > :10:50.concerning serious offences to the then Department of the Director
:10:51. > :10:53.of Public Prosecutions in 1985. Accordingly, a request has been
:10:54. > :11:10.forwarded to the Chief Constable Given the revelations that have come
:11:11. > :11:14.to light in these cases, the PPS proposes to carry out
:11:15. > :11:17.a formal review of all relevant matters and of any previous

:21:43. > :21:44.Rory McIlroy has just teed off The only one of golf's four major
:21:45. > :22:05.championships he hasn't won. The weather at D1 is ensuring this
:22:06. > :22:12.is a tough test for the best golfers in the world. Very windy conditions
:22:13. > :22:15.with gusts of 30 or 40 mph, getting stronger as the afternoon
:22:16. > :22:20.progresses. At least the weather has improved from last night, when a
:22:21. > :22:24.massive thunder and lightning storm meant the part three tournament and
:22:25. > :22:29.practice were abandoned. Rory McIlroy arrives here today, feeling
:22:30. > :22:34.very confident about his challenge. As he tries to complete the career
:22:35. > :22:40.grand slam. And he has the backing of one of only five golfers in
:22:41. > :22:45.history to achieve the feat, Gary player, an honorary starter today. I
:22:46. > :22:49.would love to see Rory went, joined the five of us as a grand slam
:22:50. > :22:53.winner. He had his problems here as we all have at some time or another,
:22:54. > :22:57.he is not scared of that any more, subconsciously we are a little bit
:22:58. > :23:04.scared of having that, a bad time at this course. And then he has been
:23:05. > :23:08.playing consistently well, I am a big admirer of Rory. He has got the
:23:09. > :23:12.best golf swing in the world today. He looks like a ballet dancer, the
:23:13. > :23:17.way he finishes that shot. He really deserves to win it, in my opinion.
:23:18. > :23:21.It would be very exciting for him. Rory McIlroy two. If you minutes ago
:23:22. > :23:24.and watching some lucky fans from back home who have managed to get
:23:25. > :23:30.their hands on the hottest ticket in sport. I would absolutely love him
:23:31. > :23:34.winning this week, just to be here for that and see him get the clean
:23:35. > :23:41.sweep would be unbelievable. I was in Liverpool when he won the open
:23:42. > :23:46.then, as I'm open I'm a lucky omen for him. Joining McIlroy there is
:23:47. > :23:50.one other Irish golfer playing this week, Shane Lowry. We will update
:23:51. > :23:52.you on both of the progress on tonight's BBC newsline.
:23:53. > :23:54.Ireland pair Rory Best and Paddy Jackson return
:23:55. > :23:56.to the Ulster team for tomorrow's Pro12 game against Cardiff Blues
:23:57. > :24:00.The Ireland captain is a favourite to be named on the British
:24:01. > :24:02.and Irish Lions Tour to New Zealand this summer.
:24:03. > :24:05.That announcement comes in just under two weeks' time,
:24:06. > :24:08.but for now Best is focusing on the season run in with Ulster
:24:09. > :24:10.having learnt the lessons of his last Lions experience four
:24:11. > :24:24.You've got to be focused in the game, probably for years ago, I was
:24:25. > :24:31.getting a little bit too far ahead and making sure I was available for
:24:32. > :24:38.selection and not as focused on playing. It's a hard one to talk
:24:39. > :24:41.about because it was so disappointing, four years ago,
:24:42. > :24:46.everything about it. Obviously you want to rectify that but at the same
:24:47. > :24:52.time you have been there and done that. You just have to try and get
:24:53. > :24:56.on with your work, looking at how people deal with pressure, and this
:24:57. > :25:00.is another pressure, but if that wasn't the Lions here, it will be a
:25:01. > :25:03.World Cup year, a big southern Hemisphere tour coming up with
:25:04. > :25:10.Ireland, there is always something with pressure to perform, to try and
:25:11. > :25:12.do what you've done. Make sure your game goes right.
:25:13. > :25:14.Finally, the Republic of Ireland women's football team have called
:25:15. > :25:16.off their boycott of Monday's international against Slovakia.
:25:17. > :25:18.After mediation last night, they resolved their dispute with
:25:19. > :25:35.The weather forecast is next with Angie Phillips.
:25:36. > :25:42.Little or no rain in the forecast over the next few days, at least not
:25:43. > :25:48.till the weekend, even then there won't be an awful lot of rain. The
:25:49. > :25:52.emphasis is on a lot of dry weather. A lot of cloud around today, we
:25:53. > :25:56.started out with some sunshine towards the north by the cloud has
:25:57. > :26:00.been feeding in off the Atlantic, even with that you couldn't say it
:26:01. > :26:07.was unpleasant. It looked good there. Still if you bright intervals
:26:08. > :26:10.trying to come through. We might get one or two bright intervals this
:26:11. > :26:14.evening but the cloud is the dominant feature, as it will be to
:26:15. > :26:18.the cause of the night. In places it could lower giving odd pockets of
:26:19. > :26:25.drizzle, particularly over the hills, but many places will stay dry
:26:26. > :26:30.and mild. Only if we get some clear spells coming along, it may get
:26:31. > :26:34.chilly empires of the countryside. Into tomorrow, variable, large
:26:35. > :26:38.amounts of cloud again. But we still have that mainly dry theme. If you
:26:39. > :26:43.do have drizzle first thing, they will go away to leave a dry day. The
:26:44. > :26:47.cloud is a bit of an issue, as it always is when it's dark and high
:26:48. > :26:54.pressure. We are hoping as we go into the afternoon, although there
:26:55. > :26:57.is more cloud than sunshine, it will try to thin out, hinting at the odd
:26:58. > :27:01.bright spell. Temperatures should reach 12, possibly 13. Even if you
:27:02. > :27:05.do get those breaks tomorrow, they will fill in again tomorrow night, a
:27:06. > :27:10.played night, drizzle across the hills. Other than that, dry, not to
:27:11. > :27:14.chilly beneath the cloud. On Saturday, we start the day on a
:27:15. > :27:17.cloudy note, but the wind direction is different coming in from the
:27:18. > :27:21.south and we will start to get clearer air coming in towards us.
:27:22. > :27:27.Away from the east coast with the onshore breeze, feeling very
:27:28. > :27:31.pleasant and amateurs getting up to slip away towards the new continent
:27:32. > :27:35.through the weekend, allowing a weather front to move into the north
:27:36. > :27:36.and west bringing cloud on Sunday and possibly some light rain later
:27:37. > :27:37.on. Our late summary
:27:38. > :27:41.is at half past ten.
