Survivor calls for Welby to resign over Church abuse scandal
Smyth, who died in his 70s in Cape Town in 2018, was accused of attacking boys at his Winchester home who he had met at a Christian summer camp in Dorset during the 1970s and 1980s.
Mr Morse said he met Smyth at Winchester College where chapel services and evangelical Christian meetings were held to which Smyth was invited as an outsider to talk.
"I believe he was a predator," Mr Morse said.
"He picked on a few boys within that group, befriend us, invited us back out to lunch at his family home and slowly over the years became a sort of father figure to me."
Mr Morse explained Smyth built a relationship which then became more physical and violent.
Smyth introduced the notion to Mr Morse that he was "sinning" and needed to "mark those sense in a form of repentance that really would mean something to the Lord".
"On my 21st birthday John Smyth told me that I was still sinning and that I required what he called a 'special beating'," he said.
"That was beatings of hundreds of lashes of a cane and I realised that I couldn't take things any longer.
"I firstly wrote a couple of anonymous letters to Christian leaders and to John Smyth but when those had no affect and I decided to take my own life."
Reports of Smyth's physical abuse of boys were revealed in an investigation by Channel 4 News in February 2017.
The investigation came after a report by the Iwerne Trust in 1982, which was not made public until 2016.
The Makin review reports that despite his "appalling" actions having been identified in the 1980s, he was never fully exposed and was therefore able to continue his abuse.
Smyth was encouraged to leave the UK and he moved to Zimbabwe without any referral being made to police.
In Zimbabwe he was charged with the manslaughter of a 16-year-old boy, who was attending one of his summer camps. Smyth was not convicted of the offence.
During this time, church officers "knew of the abuse and failed to prevent further abuse", the independent review led by Keith Makin says.
