One of the victims of a former priest jailed for 10 years for sex abuse offences has said the trauma of what he went through was "horrendous".
James Donaghy 53, from Lady Wallace Drive in Lisburn, was convicted of 23 sex abuse charges against a young adult and two teenage altar boys.
A judge described him as a sexual predator whose victims were susceptible by virtue of their religious leanings.
Fr Pat McCafferty said the abuse he suffered was "brutal".
"It was worse than my mother's death three years ago almost," Fr McCafferty said. "The trauma of it was horrendous... (I was) physically sick during it at times."

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
