A man who was abused by a priest when he was just five says he's 'appalled' by a letter from the Catholic Church about the scandal.

The message from Bishop William Nolan centres on disgraced priest Paul Moore who was jailed last week for attacking young boys for 2 decades in Ayrshire.

It says the "negative publicity" is "embarrassing".

One of Moore's victims, Andi Lavery, has been speaking to Heart's Connor Gillies. 

The church told us it had no comment.
