FORMER Workington priest Father Gregory Peter Carroll was due to be sentenced at court in York today after admitting 15 charges of indecent assault and five of gross indecency.
Fr Gregory, who spent 14 years at Workington’s Our Lady and St Michael’s Church from 1987, pleaded guilty to a string of offences committed when he was at Ampleforth College in Yorkshire between 1973 and 1983.
In an unconnected case, another former priest, who also served at Our Lady and St Michael’s Church, is to stand trial in Leeds next March. Father Piers Grant-Ferris denies 27 counts of indecent assault alleged to have occurred in the 60s and 70s before he moved to Workington.
