The paedophilia drama

A former Anglican bishop and a priest who are now retired were arrested today on charges of sexual abuse against minors as well, British media have reported.

The arrests were made following an inquiry into reports of cases of sex abuse in the Church of England. Charges were principally lodged against eighty year old former bishop, Peter Ball, and are to do with acts of abuse against young people aged between 12 and 20 in the 80’s and 90’s.

Ball was arrested at his home in Somerset. He apparently had acquaintances in the Royal family, referring to Prince Charles as his “loyal friend”.   

The police have also arrested another cleric, a retired sixty seven year old priest accused of acts of sex abuse, on two separate occasions, against two adolescents in East Sussex between 1981 and 1983.
