Father Thaddeus Kotik sexually abused children on Caldey Island for over two decades, a review confirms.

An independent review has found that Father Thaddeus Kotik sexually abused children on Caldey Island, Wales, from the late 1960s to 1992. Kotik used treats to lure children into the monastery garden for abuse, and there was a failure to report repeated allegations to authorities. The current abbot, Father Jan Rossey, has apologized for the "great suffering" caused and implemented safeguarding improvements.
