A retired catholic priest has been arrested in connection with a string of historic child sex abuse allegations.
Father Paul Moore, a former parish priest in Ayrshire, is now facing possible charges of “lewd and libidinous behaviour” towards children, according to police.
The 80-year-old was the priest at the centre of allegations involving children made by a fellow Ayrshire clergyman Patrick Lawson, who was forcibly removed from his post by the church in 2013.
