A retired clergyman convicted of what was described in court as “sinister and deliberate” sexual abuse in the 1970s and 80s has been jailed.
Granville Gibson, 80, abused two men aged 18 and 26 while he was vicar at St Claire’s Church in Newton Aycliffe.
He was found guilty of two counts of indecent assault at Durham Crown Court in August.
Judge Christopher Price said Gibson had shown no remorse for the offences and sentenced him to 12 months in jail.
