Raymond Mongan TWO paedophiles who preyed on vulnerable boys living in a Newcastle orphanage have been brought to justice more than 50 years after carrying out their abuse. As a young man, Raymond Mongan was a seemingly respected teacher who spent weekends volunteering at St Vincent’s Orphanage. But during the course of his volunteer work, Mongan abused his position of trust and preyed on those in his care. An initial report was made to police decades later by one victim in 2002, but at the time there was insufficient evidence to pursue a prosecution. In 2016, a second victim came forward and was able to give the names of other potential victimsand the investigation progressed.
