Riel Karmy-Jones QC, senior counsel to the Inquiry Into Child Sexual Abuse – The Inquiry’s report Report into Ealing Abbey and St. Benedict’s School finds a “sadistic and predatory” atmosphere and a culture of cover-up and denial allowed sexual abusers to commit crimes against children for decades.

Riel led the Inquiry’s investigation into the Roman Catholic Church and the English Benedictine Congregation (EBC) and it’s associated schools from 2017. The Inquiry’s first Report into the EBC addressed abuse and failings in safeguarding of children at Ampleforth and Downside, and was published in August 2018.
