A man abused as a child by convicted former priest Louis Daniels confronts him in court, saying he manipulated his parents to gain their trust and detailing the psychological trauma and shame he has to deal with.
"It was hard to believe a man held in such high esteem could be a predator on so many children, and even to this day, I can't talk to my parents about the abuse.
Crown prosecutor Claire Flockhart read out a statement on behalf of the second man who was sexually abused by Daniels as a teenager in Tasmania. The man described how he sometimes used alcohol to "numb out his life" and would self-harm by burning himself with cigarettes and cutting himself.
