TW uncle been accused of historic abuse

[hellohellooo]

Can someone please tell me if they know what may happen next

He was ten my other uncle was 8 and it has come out that my older uncle did some inappropriate things to him

Full context when they were younger a priest abused them both in the house during a prayer service

This came out last year
Now back in Oct my younger uncle has spoke to others about what happened

Can he go to jail?
He has 5 kids
His wife is very worried now

What your uncle was 10 at the time he us alleged to have carried out the 'abuse'
Nothing will happen except maybe an interview for the paperwork , he was a little boy!

I don't know what to say or what the family need to do next?

Hello

Thanks so much

I was not sure

It seems the abuse from the outsider caused spit of this

Just awful

Very sad but if they were both abused they both need help and counselling not punishing.

I’d strongly advise you to get in touch with NAPAC who help adult survivors of childhood abuse. They’re a fantastic organisation and will be able to give both men the help they need.

Thank you so so much

Im not an expert but I'd be very surprised if there was any prosecution for this, given his young age and that he was also a victim of childhood sex abuse. Unless he continued to abuse others as he got older.
However this doesn't take away impact it would have had on the victim - being abused first by a priest and then by his older brother. It's a very tragic and delicate situation. I'd be encouraging both to get specialist help.

This. They were both victims IMHO.

Thank you all

Everyone has so much time for them both
Never been other issues as far as I know

Just awful all round

My aunt in pieces

How on earth would you know about any other instances of abuse unless you were psychic?!

Nothing else has been mentioned

Don't be so rude

She’s said ‘as far as she knows’. She’s not offering a cast iron guarantee of good character for either of them. She’s just trying to help her family cope with a horrific situation and help two men who were once very frightened little boys, so maybe try reading and digesting what she says before going on the attack?

Thank you @Whothefuckdoesthat

I am trying to be helpful and figure it all out

They want to interview her son he is 15 and very anxious

Does a family member need to stay with them?

It will be him and a social worker

Whose son do they want to interview?

Is it the uncle who was abusive son?

The son of the man who is being accused of abusing his brother aged 10

They’d be absolutely negligent if they didn’t speak to the children of someone who had had accusations made against them. They need to be certain as they can be that what happened was the one off actions of a probably very confused and traumatised child, rather than someone who has gone on to repeat that same pattern of abuse on others. It’s bloody horrific for all concerned but they have to make sure that they do this properly.

All this trauma because of one wicked bastard preying on two innocent children. It’s something that never goes away.

Of course they should

I know they have rules and procedures

What I am asking is if family can sit with him as he is always really anxious?

Hello guys
Just to add

My uncle went to see the person who claims he abused him at a young age
They recorded what he said

Now my uncle has to go to the police to make a statement

It is an utter mess

Can they take him to court for this ???

(The initial perpetrator is dead) btw

(It was just before his tenth birthday younger uncle was 8)

Your posts are a bit confusing but what exactly is on this recording? Is it a confession of sorts, pressure to drop the allegations, or something else? If it's the latter then yes it could be possible that they could be charged with intimidation, maybe harrassment. Who arranged the meeting? It may look worse if it was the perpetrator.

Can't you all just let the police do their job? I know it's a worry but the details are quite confusing, to me anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong but are you saying uncle10 and uncle8 were abused by another person, then uncle10 began abusing uncle8 too? Uncle8 has now reported this to the police and your trying to obtain support for uncle10?

@InALonelyWorld yes that is exactly how it happened

I'm just really trying to get my head around it

The younger uncle asked to meet up
Made a recording
My older uncle met and said he was sorry for what has happened and that they need to make amends

This was sent to police and older uncle invited I.ln for police recorded interview

He is out of his mind with worry

They were both under ten when the evil priest abused them

Both need therapy and my older uncle has taken this so badly
Now he is drinking quite a bit

I just guess I'm wondering what the court process entails? Etc

And not even that I'm trying to obtain support just trying to get a clear idea of the process as it has been hushed up within the family
