The Bishop of Gloucester has been interviewed by police investigating two allegations of indecent assault.
The Rt Rev Michael Perham announced on Friday he would “step-back” from his duties with immediate effect.
Police confirmed only that a 66-year-old man attended a police station in Gloucester on Tuesday but was not arrested.
The Diocese of Gloucester said it was a police matter and it would not be making any further comment.
The alleged offences, dating back to the early 1980s, relate to a child under the age of 18 and a woman over that age.
