Paedophile bishop Peter Ball, who was jailed for 32 months in October
2015 after admitting he abused 18 young men between 1977 and 1992, was
allowed to escape with a caution after the original investigation in the
early 1990s under a deal allegedly agreed by police and the Church of
England.
However, a 29-page report written by detectives investigating the allegations of sex abuse in 1992 and 1993 warned the then Bishop of Gloucester had "been less than truthful". "He has hidden his sexual desires behind the role of religion," detective inspector Wayne Murdock and acting detective sergeant Andrew Wasley wrote in the dossier, which was obtained by The Sunday Times.
