Patti Webb was just 6 years old in 1962 when she was taken to St. Mary's. Alone and scared, the daughter of an alcoholic - absent mother, Webb says the s*xual m*lestation started right away.
"He did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted." Webb is talking about Father John Morse, the Jesuit priest in charge of St. Mary's at the time. "He'd say, 'You're coming into my office. You're getting a whipping.' Well, yeah, you'd get a whippin' but you'd get a lot more than that."
Webb says she's put the abuse behind her and has little trouble showing us around the grounds at St. Marys - even Morse's office and bedroom where she says much of the abuse happened. Little trouble, that is, until we get to one spot - an old building at the upper end of the school with an innocuous-looking door that used to lead to a root cellar.
