'St John's abuser must face justice'

Alleged victim at hands of 'paedo' in call for action

- PAT FLANAGAN

A MAN allegedly sexually abused as a child by a senior member of St John's Ambulance said he can't understand why charges have not been brought against the suspected paedophile involved.

Mick Finnegan, 40, said justice will not be done until the man who he claims abused him is prosecuted.

The whistleblower said there is more than enough evidence to convict the pervert but he believes there is some kind of reluctance in the system to bring him to trial.

Mr Finnegan, from Crumlin, South Dublin, was just 12 years old when the alleged abuse began at the hands of a senior member of the organisation for which he was volunteering.
