A priest who worked at St Luke’s Church in Stone Cross is being investigated for ‘sexually motivated’ inappropriate behaviour during his time as a nurse.
Stephen Sheridan, who worked at the Stone Cross church as assistant curator, is accused of behaving inappropriately with patients between 2002 and 2010 while working for the NHS in Worthing.
Mr Sheridan was ordained as a priest by the Diocese of Chichester in 2007.
The Diocese of Chichester has provided a report to the nursing watchdog, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which is leading the investigation into Mr Sheridan’s alleged misconduct.
In 2008 he is accused of behaving ‘inappropriately’ to a ‘vulnerable’ 16-year-old girl and sending her text messages, a birthday card.
