A retired Church of England priest has been charged with sex attacks on 18 girls and boys dating back 50 years.
Canon Gordon Rideout, 73, is accused of committing 38 offences over an 11-year period between 1962 and 1973.
The charges follow a nine-month inquiry by Sussex Police detectives into allegations of child sex abuse in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Rideout, of Filching Close, Wannock, Polegate, East Sussex, will appear on bail at Mid Sussex Magistrates’ Court on July 16.
