THE abbot at a scandal-hit Roman Catholic public school is being investigated over alleged child sex abuse.
The Rt Rev Cuthbert Madden, chairman of governors at Ampleforth College, has been quizzed by cops over complaints by four ex-pupils.
He has stepped aside from responsibilities at the school run by the Benedictine community.
Three monks and a lay teacher have been convicted of historic sex offences against more than 30 pupils at the North Yorkshire college.
Father Cuthbert, 61, has previously blasted such crimes as a grievous betrayal of trust, stating that “the safety and protection of children in our care is a sacred responsibility”.
