A priest at the centre of an abuse inquiry has been arrested over four more allegations.
Canon Gordon Rideout was arrested and bailed in March on suspicion of sexual assaults on nine young people in Crawley, London and Hampshire between 1965 and 1972.
Yesterday Sussex Police confirmed he had been arrested again over four new claims. He was being questioned in custody last night.
The force released a statement saying: “A 73-year-old man from Eastbourne is being interviewed on suspicion of four sexual assaults on young people during the late 1960s and early 1970s in Ifield, West Sussex, and Middle Wallop in Hampshire.”
