Executors of the estate of a former Middleton priest are looking for individuals who may have suffered sexual abuse at his hands to come forward.
Michael Studdert worked in Langley, Middleton, during the 1960s and is believed to have abused children in England, Wales, Poland, Denmark and Italy.
Following his death, Studdert’s estate was frozen to allow his victims a chance to file claims for compensation.
On three occasions between 1988 and 2006, Studdert was convicted of various charges relating to his possession of indecent images of children. In 1988, Studdert was convicted on four counts of possessing these images whilst working as a chaplain at Eagle House School in Berkshire.
