Victim awarded £1.4m damages over abuse by monks
A man who was abused by monks at a school in Fife run by Christian Brothers has secured £1.4m in damages.
It is believed to be the highest sum ever to be awarded to a survivor.
The victim was sexually assaulted and beaten by three Christian Brothers while staying at St Ninian's School in Falkland in 1980 and 81.
AB was sent to St Ninian's in February 1980 when he was 12 years old and stayed there until April 1981.
While at the school AB said he was raped, molested and beaten by all three men and was forced to watch attacks on other children.
AB said that Brothers Kelly, Farrell and Ryan commonly targeted children from a dormitory they referred to as "the favourite boys room".

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
