Sargeant has only ever been investigated for his financial crime, which means what was written & transmitted about 42 clergy & led to the death of Fr. Alan Griffin was never investigated. It is clear that many of those priests named were perceived to be #LGBTQIA+ & what was /2

written was therefore a hate crime. Of further concern is that @dioceseoflondon contest Sargeant was not employed by them but had access to blue HR files, a breach of GDPR & was able to discuss his perception of clergy with senior diocesan clergy. The police are interested in /3

both in the Malicious Communications & GDPR breaches as well as the Hate Crime. They are seeking as many of the 42 priests named were named to contact them.
