I’m still working at the Affidavits and, unless something significant comes up, will continue to focus on getting that task completed.
Before I get back to work though I must tell uou that as I work my through these postings I am reminded yet again of the magnitude of the scandal and how totally off the mark this mandate is – what a terrible betrayal and re-victimization of the “victims.” It’s heartbreaking.
And if in reading through the Affidavits posted to date you are already overwhelmed I remind you that the names of the real and alleged victims and sexual predators identified in the Affidavits is incomplete – there are many more.
By way of explanation, these Affidavits are only those of real and “alleged” victims who sought and received standing at the Inquiry with the law firm Ledroit Beckett. There are however many “alleged” victims who for various reasons did not did not seek or receive standing, including a number whose “abusers” were investigated and/or charged through the Project Truth probe into allegations of a paedophile ring and cover-up. Not included, therefore, are affidavits of men who allege they were sexually molested by various clergy from Cornwall’s now defunct Classical College, or by Dr. Peachy, or by Sandy Lawrence, or by Fathers Kenneth Martin and Paul Lapierre, and on and on and on. I won’t try to list them now, enough for you to know there are many more real and alleged victims and sexual predators in or from Cornwall.
So, I think that once I have completed posting these Affidavits I will try to compile a comprehensive list so you can truly see what has “allegedly” been going on in Cornwall.
Enough for now,
Sylvia
