A Catholic priest based in Rochdale is on trial for allegedly sexually abusing ten children over four decades. Many of the schoolchildren were said not to have complained about
Father Mortimer Stanley, 84, at the time, because of the “very high
regard” he was held in by parishioners and teachers.
The priest allegedly targeted the complainants - who he called his “special girls” - in his presbytery at St Vincent de Paul RC Church in Norden, Rochdale , where he would sit them on his knee and indecently assault them in various ways.
