THE claims are centred on Cardinal Keith O’Brien’s time as spiritual director of St Andrew’s College in Drygrange, in the Borders.
A STATEMENT from Cardinal O’Brien is expected within days after more details of the allegations against him emerged last night.
The cleric – who was Britain’s most senior Catholic until his resignation last week – has remained silent since issuing a brief statement on Monday.
He said the allegations are “contested” and that he is taking legal advice. However, Monday’s statement did not refer to them.
He did apologise to anyone he had offended during his career.
But he is coming under growing pressure as more information about the claims emerges.
