Monk, 88, charged with sex attacks on two women in UK
August 22nd, 2009 - 4:47 pm ICT by ANILondon, 22 (ANI): An 88-year-old monk has been accused of sexually assaulting two women.
Father Luke McNally from Cistercian Sancta Maria Abbey at Nunraw East Lothian allegedly attacked both since 2004.
However, he hasn’t yet appeared in court to face the charges, as he is presently suffering from poor health conditions and is under doctor’s observation.
Meanwhile, it is not certain if the two women who made allegations against Father McNally were visitors to the monastery’s guesthouse.
A spokesman for Sancta Maria Abbey refused to comment, reports the Sun.
The monks give advice to recovering alcoholics and addicts who come to the guesthouse.
People from different places in the world like South Africa, Latvia, Australia and Switzerland come to the monastery for a spiritual retreat too. (ANI)
