A Catholic priest has been sacked from a London university amid allegations he had a relationship with a 33-year-old student, it has been claimed
Father Paul Rowan was reportedly dismissed from his job as senior lecturer and programme director of theology and religious studies at St Mary’s University, in Twickenham.
It came amid claims he had become close to undergraduate Charmaine Garton – a mother-of two – about two years ago.
According to the Sun on Sunday, Father Rowan is understood to be appealing against the decision, which was made in November.
But the 47-year-old is also due to face a church probe, it is claimed.
