Priest who rubbed paint on girls’ bodies jailed for a year

Fr Peter Carr, 73, rubbed stage-paint onto the naked bodies of the pupils before school plays between 1969 and 1975.

He was exposed after the two women, now in their 40s swapped online recollections about the clergyman’s intimate application of the make-up. They complained to police who found that other girls were also abused at the boys’ school in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, after being invited there to join in with productions.
