The Bishop of Gloucester, The Right Reverend Michael Perham was questioned today over allegations of sex abuse dating back more than 30 years.
Days after standing down for “personal reasons”, he was quizzed about allegations he abused a girl under 18 and a woman.
Speculation has been mounting since the Bishop resigned on Friday as the cathedral prepared for a series of First World War centenary services.
Now it has emerged that officers probing historic allegations of indecent assault had arranged to speak to the married, father-of-four on a voluntary basis.
The investigation is being run by the Metropolitan Police Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command.
