FORMER Workington priest Father Gregory Peter Carroll has been jailed for four years for sexually abusing boys in his care.

Carroll, a monk at Ampleforth Abbey in Yorkshire, spent 14 years at Our Lady and St Michael’s Church in Workington from 1987.

Carroll, now 66, committed the offences against boys at Ampleforth College or its Junior House between 1980 and 1987. He was suspended in 1987 and sent to work as a parish priest in Workington after admitting “enjoying sexual contact” with a boy to the headmaster.
