Six men with links to a notorious Irish Catholic brotherhood have been arrested and charged in connection with multiple allegations of child abuse at a residential school in Fife during the 1970s and 1980s.
The six men, now aged between 60 and 76, were spoken to by police as part of an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse, beatings and mental torture at the former St Ninian’s School in Falkland.
The incidents are alleged to have taken place between January 1978 and July 1983.
A police spokesman confirmed: “Six men have been arrested and charged with multiple complaints of physical and sexual abuse at the former St Ninian’s School in Falkland, Fife in the 70s and 80s. This investigation remains live and ongoing.”
The Crown Office confirmed the procurator fiscal at Cupar had received reports concerning six males and the reports remained “under consideration” by the fiscal. It’s understood none of those involved are now resident in Fife.
