A catholic priest arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting a teenage boy has been re-bailed by police.

Francis Moran of St Andrew’s Roman Catholic Church in Brook Road, Thornton Heath, was questioned and bailed by police last September.

Parishioners were informed of the allegation when they were read a statement during a Sunday Mass.

The parish priest, who joined the church in 2004, has been re-bailed until the end of June.
