WARNING - DISTRESSING CONTENT: Caldey Island off the coast of Wales has been dubbed 'paedophile island' after a new report revealed how monks and laymen abused at least 54 children.
A tranquil island located off the UK coast has been nicknamed 'paedophile island' due to its disturbing history.
It is understood that most of the victims were visiting Caldey Island on family holidays or trips organised by youth groups and schools. A total of 16 survivors have provided testimonies to those compiling the damning 73-page report. Most of the report focuses on Father Thaddeus Kotik who abused several children from the late 1960s. He evaded justice up until 1992, when he died.
Serial sex offender Kotik used "complex strategies" to facilitate his abuse, the report said. He kept pets to attract the interest of young children and even won the trust of parents before offering to babysit. The report concluded he was able to groom children in "plain sight". One witness described him as "creepy" and "childlike", adding: "He was more a Michael Jackson type than Jimmy Savile.
Police tracked him to Caldey Island in 2011 after a resident recognised Ashton from a Crimestoppers 'Most Wanted' list. He was living under the name Robert Judd and was involved in the running of the Abbey and its Order. Shockingly, it later emerged he had used the Abbey's IT systems to download more indecent images of children.
