A hostel warden accused of ordering boys to strip to their underwear and “wrestle” him – in what has been described as simulating sex – did not deny the allegation when confronted, the then-chair of the hostel board has told a special inquiry.
Bishop Michael Challen said he immediately “invited” Roy Wenlock to resign but did not report the matter to police because the student who complained had asked for confidentiality.
“Reporting wasn’t required then … and the parents asked me specifically not to report it on behalf of the boy,” Bishop Challen said.
