A Catholic priest has again been quizzed about historic sex allegation.
Canon Mortimer Stanley, 82, who retired from St Vincent de Paul RC Church in Norden, Rochdale, was first interviewed last year.
Originally three women claimed they were indecently assaulted and sexually abused while pupils at nearby St Vincent’s Primary School.
The women were under 11 when it is alleged the offences happened more than 30 years ago.
It is claimed the abuse was committed in a presbytery next to the school. After the M.E.N reported the allegations six other women came forward with information.
Canon Stanley, who joined the church as a parish priest in 1972, retired to his native Ireland in 2002. He retired to Ballybunion in Kerry.
