FORMER Workington priest Father Gregory Peter Carroll has admitted 15 charges of indecent assault and five counts of gross indecency.
The victims were all under 14 at the time and were connected to private school Ampleforth College in Yorkshire, where Fr Carroll was based between 1973 and 1983.
Fr Gregory spent 14 years at Workington’s Our Lady and St Michael’s Church from 1987.
The charges were brought after a 12-month police probe into Ampleforth Abbey, attached to an independent school run by Benedictine monks.
Fr Gregory appeared at York Crown Court and he pleaded guilty. He will be sentenced on September 19.
