A retired bishop who was facing disciplinary proceedings over alleged child protection failings has said the case against him has been dismissed.
The complaints were made against former Bishop of Lewes, the Rt Rev Wallace Benn, by the safeguarding advisory group of the Diocese of Chichester.
Bishop Benn said no misconduct of any kind had been established under the Clergy Disciplinary Measure (CDM).
The Diocese of Chichester was asked to comment but has not done so.
Bishop Benn was accused of failing to tell police about paedophile priest Robert Coles, who was jailed in February for sexually abusing three boys aged from 10 to 16.
