A man who claims he was sexually abused more than 30 years ago in County Fermanagh has spoken out for the first time about the “sick and depraved” attacks he faced as a schoolboy. 
The man, who does not want to be named, has graphically detailed the level of sexual abuse he encountered in Enniskillen when he was 14 years old.
In a lengthy interview with The Impartial Reporter today, Brian [not his real name] has revealed:
•    How his attacker, a family friend, made him watch pornography before sexually abusing him while his wife and children were on holiday 
•    How he was taken to a country lane near Devenish Island and raped
•    How he alerted the alleged abuser’s family to the abuse 
•    How the Police Service of Northern Ireland dropped the case five years ago due to a “lack of evidence”
He is the second victim of historical sex abuse to contact The Impartial Reporter in recent weeks and has come forward after reading an interview with a man who claimed he was abused as part of an alleged paedophile ring operating in Enniskillen during the 80s. 

Brian has spoken out in the hope of helping others. To read his full story see this week's Impartial Reporter.
