A Jersey human rights campaigner has said the woman at the heart of an investigation into abuse allegations within the Anglican Church wants to put the matter behind her.

Bob Hill, a former politician, said the woman, known as “HG”, has been left out of discussions and investigations.

Jersey’s Anglican church split from the Diocese of Winchester over the matter.

The Bishop of Winchester, Tim Dakin, is reviewing the report about how the complaint was handled by the church.

Mr Hill said HG is “fed up with the way in which she has become a political football”.

“What she seeks now is closure, but she cannot get that closure until the reports have been published, if indeed they are ever going to be published,” he said.
