A FORMER West Cumbrian priest who was jailed for indecently assaulting young boys has become the subject of claims that he assaulted a Workington boy.

Father Gregory Carroll, 66, was jailed in September for four years on 15 counts of indecent assault and five of gross indecency during his time at Ampleforth College in Yorkshire in the Seventies.

Now a former Workington man claims that he too was a victim of Carroll’s.

The Catholic priest was sent to Workington’s Our Lady and St Michael’s RC Church in 1987, after confessing to church authorities about his sexual behaviour.
