BBC Inside Out investigates the Anglican paedophile priests who abused children in Sussex.

It has prompted an inquiry ordered by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the first time in over 100 years. But at the very heart of this story are the victims who have been left fighting for the truth.

We meet Phil Johnson who was groomed then seriously sexually abused by a priest when he was a nine-year-old choir boy and church server.

His abuser Father Roy Cotton was at the time a revered, trusted Anglican priest.
