Father Francis Davidson is quitting his post as monastic superior of St Benet’s Hall after being accused of covering up child sex abuse during his time at Fort Augustus Abbey School in the Scottish Highlands.
He was responsible for the welfare of student monks at the Oxford College.
His resignation comes after a BBC investigation found evidence of physical and sexual abuse at the boarding school and its preparatory school in East Lothian.
