A man has come forward to tell how he was raped as a boy
and given electric shock treatment to ‘cure’ him of being gay in the
1970s.
Robert Cummings, who was 16 when he was there in the 1971, had told staff members that he was being attacked by other boys.
In response, a doctor told him: ‘Well, we need to up your dosage of electricity’.
Cummings, now 60, said: ‘I remember at times screaming from the pain of the electric shocks and being thrown from the chair.’I learned from that point on not to say anything about the abuse as I felt I was still being punished and was not being believed about what was happening to me.’
