POLICE should investigate the actions of the former Archbishop of Canterbury, according to a survivor of sexual abuse.
Graham Sawyer, who was subjected to sexual assault by the former Bishop of Lewes Peter Ball in the 1980s, made the call following revelations that information regarding Ball’s offending was not passed to police.
Newly unearthed documents indicate that Lambeth Palace, the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, received six letters following Ball’s caution in 1992 revealing Ball encouraged victims to pray naked, perform sex acts in front of him, and share his bed.
Mr Sawyer told The Argus: “I hope the police are looking into the possibility of opening an investigation regarding Lord Carey as to whether he might be guilty of misconduct in a public office.”
Mr Sawyer said he was not surprised by these further revelations, saying they represented further evidence of a cover up at Lambeth Palace.
