The head of an abbey on a remote Welsh island has apologised for the “great suffering” endured by children who were abused by a late monk, and the “culture of secrecy and cover-up” that kept it hidden, after an independent review.
Father Jan Rossey, who last year became the Abbot of Caldey Abbey, which is off the coast of Pembrokeshire in west Wales and home to Cistercian Order monks, commissioned a review into alleged historical child sex abuse by monks.
