Bishop Eamon Casey was a 'sexual predator', according to new RTÉ documentaryMichael BoltonThe former CEO of The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland, Ian Elliott, has described Bishop Eamonn Casey as "a sexual predator". His niece, Patricia Donovan, claims he first raped her at the age of five and that the sexual abuse continued for years. Mr Elliot found her account of what she experienced “entirely credible”, describing Bishop Casey as, on balance of probabilities, “an offender, a sexual predator." By this stage, the Vatican had now received at least two allegations of child sexual abuse against Bishop Casey. Bishop Casey consistently denied all the allegations of child sexual abuse made against him.
