FIVE men who, as children, once lived at St Dominic’s Children’s Home have taken legal action in the High Court, alleging that they suffered years of physical and sexual abuse while under the home’s care.

The group has brought proceedings against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Port of Spain, the Office of the Attorney General, the Statutory Authorities Service Commission and a former supervisor, claiming each bears responsibility for the harm they endured as children.

The incidents are said to have taken place between 1983 and 2006.
