A woman who was sexually abused by a lay vicar in Sussex says she was “completely failed” by the former Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey.
Alesha Racine wrote to Lord Carey in 1992 after discovering her abuser had returned to the church where she had been repeatedly sexually assaulted.
On Monday Lord Carey announced his resignation as an honorary bishop.
A review by Dame Moira Gibb found he had failed to pass on information about abuse carried out by Bishop Peter Ball.
Ms Racine’s abuser, Michael Walsh, was convicted of five indecent assault charges and confessed to sexual relationships with a further eight children.
