A Norwich priest arrested in a child sex probe has been re-bailed.

Father Tony McSweeney was arrested in February by detectives probing allegations of child sex abuse centring on a guesthouse and a children’s home in London.

He was bailed until April and has now been bailed until July.

The 66-year-old, from St George’s Church in the north of Norwich, was arrested on suspicion of sexual offences.

Fr McSweeney, who has been a priest for 29 years, was appointed a director at Notre Dame High School in April last year but resigned after his arrest.
