I am sure all of this is easily verified or disproved if the authorities have the nerve to take up the challenge. You can find all the information at this link.

Must be a lot of people feeling very anxious at the moment.

Joseph Mains received 6 years in prison for his part in the Kincora abuse case .. His brother (neatly airbrushed out of any reports then or since) was Thomas James Mains, Head Constable of the RUC CID Unit in Londonderry and in 1966 he received the Queens Police Medal ..

While he was a serving police officer he visited Kincora ..

Joseph Mains travelled alot and he took boys from the home with him, which he abused, on these trips ..

The boys were threatened with physical harm & to being sectioned for being disruptive to Purdisburn Mental Hospital ..

He had formally been a charge nurse at Purdisburn Mental Hospital and therefore had contacts which enabled him to do this .. There is evidence that it was reported that he abused patients at this hospital prior to taking up his post of Warden of Kincora in 1958 ..

The main reason why the truth about Kincora was able to be supressed was that all the perpetrators that were charged, pleaded guilty and were quickly convicted resulting in there being no need to call or hear in open court the harrowing evidence from any of the victims ..

It is worth noting that both the perpetrators & the investigators were all members of the Orange Order ..

Joseph Mains was a member of the B Specials at that time .. This part time auxilliary police force, noted for it’s brutality & corruption was later disbanded ..

Joseph Mains recommended both of his fellow abusers, Semple & McGrath, who had no formal training in social care for adolescents for their employment at Kincora ..

As a victim of abuse in Kincora and a plaintif in Hughes Inquiry I am agrieved that I have never been allowed to give detailed evidence of my experiences at the hands of Joseph Mains .. It was very clear that they wanted to expeditiously bury this story ..

I was in Kincora from 1958 – 1963 ..

I am in possession of substantial documentation in relation to this case ..
