A man says former St
John of God brother Bernard Kevin McGrath tricked him into getting into a
coffin and then shut the lid when he was a pupil at Marylands school in
Christchurch. McGrath was dressed in
a long black cloak when he let him out, and he undressed and sexually assaulted
him, the witness told the trial before Justice Lester Chisholm and a jury in
the High Court at Christchurch.
He also said that after
he had run away from the school three times, McGrath had kept him in a locked
room for a month. When he was released, no one remarked on his absence from
class.
