A NEW sexual abuse claim has been made against a former Workington priest.
Catholic priest 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 1970s.
However, he was sent to Workington’s Our Lady and St Michael’s RC Church in 1987, after confessing to church authorities about his behaviour.
Workington’s clergy, the Lancaster diocesan authorities and the church’s parish council were not warned about his sexual behaviour.
