A paedophile retired Church of England priest has been jailed for eight years after pleading guilty to historic sex offences against young boys dating back to the 1970’s.
In December, Robert Coles, 71, admitted buggery and four indecent assaults on one victim and three indecent assaults against two other boys.
The offences took place in West Sussex and elsewhere in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s against boys aged between 10 and 16 at the time.
Coles, of Upperton Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, was due to face trial on June 10 on seven further alleged sex offences suspected to have been committed against the victims.
