The police treatment of a disabled woman who claimed she was abused by a church warden in Jersey is being discussed by politicians today.
Back in March, the island’s Dean was suspended for failing to properly investigate the allegations by the 26-year-old disabled woman.
Jersey comes under the Diocese of Winchester which has clear safeguarding procedures on what to do when allegations of abuse are made against a church worker.
The disabled woman – known as HG – claimed a church warden had abused her, but the independent review found that the Very Rev Key did not properly handle the complaint.
