A high-profile victim of a notorious
pedophile priest who travelled to Rome to see Cardinal George Pell
testify before the royal commission has been accused of not being open
about his own past as an abuser.
As a child, David Ridsdale was abused by his uncle, Catholic priest Gerard Ridsdale, for four years. Almost 15 years later, in 1995, David pleaded guilty to two counts of indecently assaulting a young victim only years after he suffered abuse himself, the ABC's 7.30 reports.
