Disgraced Cardinal Keith O’Brien facing possible police investigation as it emerges church officials have ‘told him to live as a hermit’

By Steve Doughty and Graham Grant

Shamed Cardinal Keith O’Brien was facing a possible police investigation last night into the sex scandal that has engulfed the church.

Police received a formal complaint yesterday against the disgraced cardinal, who on Sunday night admitted he had been guilty of sexual misconduct.

Last night, it emerged that lawyer Nick Freeman, well-known for representing a string of celebrities, has called on police to investigate.

The latest development comes after it emerged Cardinal O’Brien – until last week the most senior Roman Catholic in Britain – has been told he must live the life of a ‘hermit’ following his confession.
