Brother Titus Keet, a 78-year-old monk from Caldey Island off the coast of west Wales, has been accused of sexually assaulting a visitor and sexually harassing a former employee. The visitor, Natalie Roberts, alleges that Keet gave her naked photos of himself and sexually assaulted her during a walk between Caldey and St Margaret's Island in 2016. Roberts described the incident as a violation that affected her spiritual beliefs. Keet denies the allegations, suggesting the visitor became hostile after he rejected her advances.
Additional claims include Keet making unwelcome sexual advances and comments towards a former abbey employee, showing nude photos of himself and others, and threatening her job if she complained. Keet refutes these accusations, stating the employee fabricated the claims for financial gain and asserting that UK law did not apply to him on the private island. Dyfed-Powys Police investigated but took no further action. The allegations were detailed in the BBC podcast Dark Island.
