Exposing my twin – the paedophile priest

Margaret Harrod was a nun and her twin brother was a priest in Australia. They were inseparable but when she learned about her brother’s crimes Margaret knew she had to speak out.

Margaret Harrod was a nun and her twin brother was a priest. They were inseparable, but one day while visiting a parish family Margaret witnessed her brother doing something that would shock her to the core. It brought up memories that she had tried to bury and ultimately forced her to blow the whistle on her own twin brother. Margaret talks openly about child sexual abuse throughout this programme and it may be difficult and triggering to hear. If you are affected by anything in Margaret's interview the 91Èȱ¬ has a website where you can get advice and more information: www.bbc.co.uk/actionline
