Father Morton cleared of wrongdoing after historical sexual abuse allegation
The parish priest of St Bride’s in Cambuslang has been cleared of any wrongdoing after an allegation of historical sexual abuse.
Father Paul Morton was put on administrative leave last September by Catholic Church authorities whilst the claim was investigated, but he always maintained his innocence.
However, on Thursday evening, after an interview lasting less than an hour, he was informed there is no case to answer.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “We can confirm police have carried out an investigation following an allegation of historical sexual abuse, and no further police action will be taken.”
