A former chaplain and ex-principal of a Roman Catholic children’s care home have been jailed for abusing boys.
Anthony McCallen and James Carragher were convicted of a total of 35 sex offences against 11 boys between 1970 and 1991 at the former St William’s Children’s Home in East Yorkshire.
McCallen, 69, was jailed for 15 years and Carragher, 75, for nine years.
