The Bishop of Oxford has insisted he did act when a priest told him he was raped repeatedly as a teenager.

The Right Reverend Dr Steven Croft, who became Bishop of Oxford in September, was told of the allegation in 2012 by the priest, who has since retired.

Dr Croft said he followed up the allegations and those concerned were “properly supported”.

But the man said Dr Croft “did nothing” and “couldn’t get off the phone quick enough” when he told him.

“I would have thought he would have wanted it sorted out before he was enthroned [in Oxford] but he has persistently not engaged,” he said.
