A Norfolk priest who was arrested by detectives probing allegations of child sex abuse centring on a guesthouse and a children’s home has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
The priest, Father Tony McSweeney, 66, from St George’s Church in Norwich, and another man, aged 70, from East Sussex were arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of sexual offences.
The allegations, dating from the early 1980s, are linked to the former Elm Guest House and the now closed Grafton Close children’s home in Barnes, south west London.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said both men have been bailed until April pending further inquiries.
