In
the course of his heartbreaking account of the abuse he suffered at the
hands of a paedophile football coach the former Tottenham and Liverpool
player Paul Stewart mentioned that he had watched Spotlight,
the film about the Boston Globe’s investigation of institutionalised
sexual abuse with the city’s Catholic church.
As Stewart put it, the revelations in that case started relatively small, but the airing of them caused survivor accounts to snowball. That way, he judged, “the enormity of it became clear”.
