O'Brien's victims were adult seminarians, over the age of consent though their ability to consent was compromised by the power imbalance/nativity.<br /><br />Brady on the other hand swore an abused child to secrecy, which as a parent I think is the worst think to inculcate. I wonder if that child experienced further abuse but kept quiet because of his written vow of secrecy.<br /><br />Shame on Brady and shame on Bartlett his PR merchant. I won't be at the WMOF.
