Review
into priest’s assault against boy in 1976 criticises Justin Welby’s
office and expresses disbelief that senior figures cannot recall being
told of attack .
The
Church of England is to make far-reaching changes to the way it deals
with cases of sex abuse following a damning independent report that
details how senior church figures failed to act upon repeated
disclosures of a sadistic assault.
The first independent review commissioned by the church into its handling of a sex abuse case highlights the “deeply disturbing” failure of those in senior positions to record or take action on the survivor’s disclosures over a period of almost four decades. The church acknowledged the report was “embarrassing and uncomfortable”.
