A fugitive Church of England vicar has been told by judges to return to India where he faces charges of sexually assaulting a boy of 15.
The Rev Jonathan Robinson – an acquaintance of former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams – is accused of attacking the youngster twice in 2011.
The boy, who stayed at a children’s home set up by the clergyman, said he was kidnapped and taken to New Delhi where he was molested in cheap hostels.
But by the time a warrant was issued for Robinson’s arrest, the married cleric had returned home to Wales. Judges at the High Court in Madras have now agreed to lift an Interpol ‘wanted’ alert in the hope that he will voluntarily fly to India to face trial.
