Retired Christopher Bosworth, 57, was arrested at his home in Wales by detectives from Essex Police in September 2012 following sexual assault allegations dating back to the 1980s.

Bosworth, of Cae Greynor in Tycroes, was jailed for historical sexual offences committed in Essex and north-west London.

The four victims in the Essex Police investigation, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were in the Wickford area in Essex and the Willesden and Kingsbury areas in London in the 1980s and 1990s.

Bosworth was a psychiatric nurse in Kingsbury where he committed offences against two of the male victims. He was also Catholic priest in Willesden at the time of offending.

The former priest denied the charges but a jury at Basildon Crown Court found him guilty following a three week trial.
