Wigan Today
A FORMER Wigan vicar has been jailed at the age of 91 for child abuse.
Rev Frank Baldwick is now facing excommunication, having earlier this year been found guilty of two counts of sexual assault against a boy more than 35 years ago.
The frail pensioner, who had denied the attacks at vicarages in both Bolton and Atherton, was sentenced at
Manchester Crown Court and the diocese which oversees his two former parishes says the conviction will ultimately lead to his being de-frocked.
