Eleven men subjected to years of child abuse by two priests claim they have never received the therapy promised by the Church.

Lawrence Grech, speaking on behalf of the victims, told Times of Malta he had never been approached by the Church.

When contacted, a Curia spokesman denied Mr Grech’s claims. He insisted the men had all been contacted by the Missionary Society of St Paul in writing back in 2011. Since then, he added, some had even received counselling services.

Times of Malta spoke to each of the victims, all of whom insisted they had never been contacted or received any treatment. Many of the victims said they had given up waiting.
