:02:06. > :02:14.support to those abused by members of the clergy, but first, reaction
:02:15. > :02:19.to his conviction from the police. Although Father Cullen comes across
:02:20. > :02:26.in court as a frail and elderly men, we need to consider the length of
:02:27. > :02:30.time that he offended for and the age of the victims and how
:02:31. > :02:35.vulnerable they were and how he abused his position of trust, and
:02:36. > :02:40.today is, as you said, a degree of closure for those victims, and I am
:02:41. > :02:45.just happy for them. Mike O'Sullivan was in court today.
:02:46. > :02:55.Here's his report on how Cullen was a life`long abuser of children.
:02:56. > :03:02.A predatory priests, Father Cullen I've used the seven young victims
:03:03. > :03:11.over 34 years. Today he pled guilty to 21 offences at parishes in three
:03:12. > :03:16.different cities. The sexual abuse of any person, particularly an
:03:17. > :03:21.innocent child, is absolute evil and cannot be justified. One word that
:03:22. > :03:23.springs to mind would be abhorrent. Looking at the position that he
:03:24. > :03:29.held, it 0 Looking at the position that he
:03:30. > :03:33.held, it was a position of trust in relation to these seven
:03:34. > :03:41.complainants, and he clearly has abused its position. Father Cullen
:03:42. > :03:45.was ordained in 1953 in Birmingham. He came to Kirby in the 1950s to
:03:46. > :03:52.prepare the way for this church, Christ the King. Into the 1970s, he
:03:53. > :03:59.abused for altar boys, some as young as six, abusing son into their
:04:00. > :04:03.mid`teenage years. He helped the community here to build his church
:04:04. > :04:10.and was the Paris priest `` preparers preached for 18 years. We
:04:11. > :04:16.were told he was a charismatic priest. In 1978, he was the parish
:04:17. > :04:22.priest at one charge for nine years. The abuse continued. He targeted a
:04:23. > :04:28.young girl and a teenage girl. The point of the parish he was pictured
:04:29. > :04:30.with Bob Geldof in the 1980s. He retired on the grounds of ill health
:04:31. > :04:33.in October of 0 retired on the grounds of ill health
:04:34. > :04:38.in October of 1987, returning to Ireland. Just under a year later, he
:04:39. > :04:43.said he was well enough to come back, this time as parish priest at
:04:44. > :04:48.Saint Mary's in Nottingham. He abused and 11`year`old altar boy. In
:04:49. > :04:53.September of 1991, he retired for the second time on the grounds of
:04:54. > :04:59.ill health. A month later, he faced sex abuse charges relating to a
:05:00. > :05:03.previous church and jumped bail. The diocese of Nottingham said it knew
:05:04. > :05:07.nothing of abuse allegations before that case. Some people might say
:05:08. > :05:12.there must have been a cover`up at the time and he was just moved
:05:13. > :05:16.around to the tricks of the problem that way. All I can say is that I
:05:17. > :05:21.have seen no evidence of a cover`up because I have the new evidence that
:05:22. > :05:26.his abusive behaviour was reported to the Bishop at the time. The
:05:27. > :05:30.police say they cannot verify a claim by one Derby victim from the
:05:31. > :05:35.early 1960s that his family did reports the abuse to the church, but
:05:36. > :05:36.they can say that Father Cullen was extradited last year after 0
:05:37. > :05:41.they can say that Father Cullen was extradited last year after 22 years
:05:42. > :05:47.on the run thanks to information from the diocese of Nottingham. They
:05:48. > :05:51.were instrumental in helping the police locate Father Cullen in
:05:52. > :05:55.Tenerife. That has helped us to obtain the European arrest warrant
:05:56. > :05:59.that has enabled us to bring him back to the country. Three of the
:06:00. > :06:03.victims are making civil compensation claims against the
:06:04. > :06:07.diocese, and the church is resuming its own inquiry into the career of
:06:08. > :06:15.Father Cullen, an inquiry that will report back to the skin in a few
:06:16. > :06:16.months. `` the Vatican. Mike told me 0
:06:17. > :06:19.months. `` the Vatican. Mike told me earlier he spoke to one
:06:20. > :06:25.mother of altar boys who knew Cullen. She said she felt betrayed
:06:26. > :06:29.and was in tears outside the court. This is all know about the victims
:06:30. > :06:34.of the abuse. I little earlier I spoke to a communications officer
:06:35. > :06:44.for the Catholic Church who was in Rome. I asked him what his reaction

:07:01. > :07:04.people who have been abused over the years. These people have suffered

:07:17. > :07:20.to us, and I would hope that anybody who has been abused I anybody will

:08:02. > :08:05.priest to was helping to set up this parish, and he did that with the
:08:06. > :08:09.help of the people of Mackworth. Any indication at all of the dark side
:08:10. > :08:17.of his personality and life? None at all. Were you surprised? Surprised
:08:18. > :08:21.and horrified. Thank you very much. You are a member of a support group
:08:22. > :08:24.to help people who have been abused by members of the clergy. The
:08:25. > :08:28.Catholic Church in particular has come in for a lot of criticism over
:08:29. > :08:30.allegations of child abuse. Is it getting better at admitting what's
:08:31. > :08:33.been going on? Certainly improving in terms of the words that they put
:08:34. > :08:38.out. I would like to see more action. We have spent years
:08:39. > :08:44.campaigning to try and improve transparency within the Catholic
:08:45. > :08:47.Church, but still they rely on secret courts, secret internal
:08:48. > :08:52.courts, where bishops take all the decisions on and of this type are
:08:53. > :08:57.kept from the police. There will be an inquiry which will go to the

:09:05. > :09:12.can't `` hope? I am always optimistic. Actions speak louder

:09:19. > :09:22.been abused? It is really significant to have justice seem to
:09:23. > :09:26.be done, and you can imagine that lots of people, possibly some is
:09:27. > :09:29.still out there who have not yet come forward, will have been
:09:30. > :09:39.dreading this day and wondering whether it would ever come. Thank

:09:44. > :09:45.more than 20 years. It seems he spent all of that time on Tenerife
:09:46. > :09:46.in the Canary 0 spent all of that time on Tenerife
:09:47. > :09:49.in the Canary Islands. He was even in an area packed with
:09:50. > :09:52.holiday`makers from the East Midlands. And this programme has
:09:53. > :09:56.also found a priest over there who says Cullen confided in him that
:09:57. > :09:59.he'd been a priest back in Britain. Well, our reporter Simon Hare
:10:00. > :10:05.travelled to Tenerife to see where Cullen had been hiding all along in
:10:06. > :10:12.plain sight. Holiday`makers come here to escape
:10:13. > :10:17.the British winter. Cullen came here to escape British justice for more
:10:18. > :10:26.than two decades. In the busy resorts here, apartments in which he
:10:27. > :10:31.spent most of his years living in a modest one`bedroom. He ended up
:10:32. > :10:38.leaving over a debt of 9000 euros for unpaid community fees. He had
:10:39. > :10:41.earned a living by running errands for a local shop. He told some
:10:42. > :10:49.people he had been an architect in Australia, but he had an altogether
:10:50. > :10:54.more truthful account with a man of the same fate. The parish priest
:10:55. > :10:58.says that Cullen used to visit his church regularly to pray and then
:10:59. > :11:03.when they came a partial confession. Perhaps two years ago, he told me
:11:04. > :11:10.that he was a priest. I was surprised, because I had seen him
:11:11. > :11:16.before, just a normal person for many years, and then suddenly he was
:11:17. > :11:23.a priest. He appeared here and suddenly disappeared. That is
:11:24. > :11:27.because last August he was arrested while visiting mass at this church
:11:28. > :11:36.in a neighboring resort. The priest in charge here had recognised him as
:11:37. > :11:39.a wanted man after an appeal for information had originated from the
:11:40. > :11:43.Catholic Church back in Britain. Do you fear he could have offended
:11:44. > :11:49.while he was here? Did he have access to children? He had no access
:11:50. > :11:57.to children, no. It appears he used his real name while in Tenerife, and
:11:58. > :11:57.he did not attempt to hide. This man is 0 0

:12:12. > :12:13.in. It does not surprise me that he would blend in because there are so
:12:14. > :12:19.many people walking up and down the streets. It seems a long length of
:12:20. > :12:23.time, I must admit. Before he was originally arrested and charged in
:12:24. > :12:28.1991, he was already known to be a regular visitor here at Tenerife,
:12:29. > :12:36.which only raises the question, should he have been caught much
