The inquiry received a complaint from Pamela in relation to this priest, to whom she said she had reported her abusive relationship with Fr Iota.
A close relationship developed between Fr Kappa and Pamela after this, and when she was approximately 17 years old she alleged she was abused by him. Full intercourse took place when she was 18.
When she became pregnant it was arranged by Fr Kappa that she would be sent to a family in a different country where she would work until she gave birth, and her child then placed up for adoption.
Pamela eventually returned home to give birth to her child. Fr Kappa refused to recognise Pamela's child as his own.
She contacted the acting diocesan delegate in May 2005 and reported being abused by two priests, but did not name Fr Kappa or provide any details in relation to abuse by him.
Outlining the diocesan response, the inquiry said it understood that the complaint had only recently been made known to the diocese. Also, at the time of the alleged events, it is understood that no member of the Church Authority in Ferns was aware of Fr Kappa's involvement with Pamela. Fr Kappa is now a retired priest.
