A vicar has been arrested on suspicion of raping a teenage girl.
Anglican priest the Rev Simon Marsh, 54, was arrested and interviewed by detectives investigating allegations of sexual abuse between 2011 and last year.
It is understood that the alleged victim gave a statement to specially trained police officers last week.
The Rev Marsh served as Vicar of St Paul’s in Macclesfield from 1990 until 1996, and then as Vicar of St John the Baptist in Bollington from September 2001 until 2006.
He left his post in Bollington for his current role as vicar in Bramhall in Stockport, based at St Michael and All Angels CofE Church.
