Government should change the law to make it a crime for priests, vicars and other clergy to have sexual relations with anyone aged 16-18 under their pastoral care (like teachers, etc), #CSAinquiry recommends in report on Anglican church published a few minutes ago.
Church of England “put its own reputation above the needs of victims and survivors,” concludes #CSAinquiry report on case studies of Chichester diocese and paedophile bishop Peter Ball. (Like so many institutions, of course.)
“In allegations involving victims and survivors over the age of 16, a number of individuals in the Diocese of Chichester and Lambeth Palace misinterpreted the actions of abusers as homosexual behaviour,” concludes #CSAinquiry report – out about 20 minutes ago.
Allegiance to “tribes” within Church of England exposed children to sexual abuse in diocese of Chichester, finds #CSAinquiry.

George Carey condemned. When archbishop of Canterbury, he had conflict of interest because he gave “personal and vocal support” to Peter Ball following initial caution and yet was responsible for deciding whether he should be disciplined or returned to ministry, says #CSAinquiry.
George Carey should not have written to Gloucestershire chief constable on behalf of Peter Ball during 1992 investigation to say that the allegations were “unrepresentative of his style”, says #CSAinquiry.
“This was not, in light of the information available to him, accurate.”

CPS advice to caution Bishop Peter Ball as a result of 1992 police investigation was “wrong”, finds #CSAinquiry in new report on Anglican church. He should have been charged with various offences back then, it says.

Prince Charles was “misguided” in his actions over Peter Ball following his caution, which have “could have been interpreted as expressions of support”, concludes #CSAinquiry report out this afternoon...
Lord Lloyd of Berwick, the former law lord, was “foolish” to write to police on Peter Ball’s behalf, says #CSAinquiry in its new report on case study on Ball in investigation into Anglican church.
And the exposure of Anglican church goes on, as #CSAinquiry will continue investigating it, including whether “the seal of the confessional” should continue to protect those who confess to sexual abuse of children.
