Byline: RICHARD DOWN A FORMER altarboy who took a fatal drugs overdose never recovered from being abused by a Catholic priest for three years as a boy, an inquest heard.
In July 2002 a new lawsuit was filed against him on behalf of a 47-year-old man who alleges that Ziemann began abusing him as an altarboy and, when he turned 17, began paying him for sex (Wanderer, July 18/02).
Features such as squirrel-fishing, pensioner wheelchair races, and altarboys eating as many communion hosts as they can manage caused outrage.
