Wow, that is quite a step forward. Perhaps it's not just women, though. The Guardian gave coverage to this story, which I assumed was true when I first saw it published alongside their Jimmy Savile coverage, but now wonder if it owes more to exaggeration and over-active imaginations.

"Two years after he had come across Husband again, the police tracked down Young to a bedsit he was then living in and pushed a note through the door asking if he'd give evidence about abuse that had happened at St Camillus, a home where he had been abused before Medomsley.

I'm reminded of this:

I know we're now supposed to believe that abuse is rife, especially amongst those "hiding in plain sight" as teachers/social workers, etc., but it's surely very bad luck to have been abused not just in one institution but two.
Then there's Ian, about whose story I am very sceptical.
