The young policeman and church going Catholic, who was the target of an attempted sexual seduction by an inebriated Father John Pall Lyttle, has never received an apology from the priest himself, the diocese of Portsmouth or it’s bishop, Egan.
This has left the young man very shaken, especially because he is a devout Mass going Catholic and at the time was considering the priesthood 😢.
When Lyttle was in the seminary in Belfast and was in his 20s he claimed that Belfast PP James Donaghy (later imprisoned for abuse) tried to seduce him by plying him with alcohol.
Now 15 years later we see Lyttle trying to do the same thing to the policeman in his 20s.
But Lyttle has been acting out for a long time now – year’s and years.
His difficulties seem to be complicated, as they often are, with an alcohol problem.
There were problems in Belfast.
There were problem in Oscott.
There were problems in Spain.
And now there are problems in Portsmouth.
Currently on the Portsmouth website he has no appointment and his email address has been removed.
THE PIOUS LYTTLE
I think JP should leave the priesthood, get a job and pursue the person life he obviously needs.
Delaying his departure will cause further hurt to himself and others.
