Brother Titus Keet, a monk on Caldey Island, faces allegations of sexual assault and harassment from a visitor and a former employee. The claims include giving naked photos to women and making unwelcome sexual advances, which he denies, attributing them to rejection. Despite police investigations, no charges were filed, but the abbey has since implemented new safeguarding measures.

The abbot acknowledged past failures in addressing abuse on the island and stated that Keet is no longer allowed on Caldey Island following complaints. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding safety and accountability in religious communities.
