A good old fashioned sex scandal...who would have thought it possible !

well, let's not convict him before the courts do.

Are we really going to bash the bishop?

[sp1814]

Ahh...I remember the heyday of these scandals in the 70s. Every weekend in the News Of The World, there would be a story like this.

But back then, it would be vicars.

Nice to see that we've upgraded to bishops.

He should have stuck to 'bashing the Bishop'

[Hopkirk]

As soon as I heard he had retired early for personal reasons, I knew what was coming.

A 'CHILD' under 18, and a 'WOMAN'????????????

[jno]

what's your point, aog? You in a hurry to know which sex the child was?

[anotheoldgit]

jno

I thought that most would be able to work that out themselves but obviously I was wrong, so let me try and put it simpler.

A 'CHILD' under 18, = I was not aware that one was still a child at 16/17/18.

*** It is defined as offensive sexual contact with another person, exclusive of rape. It also includes any indecent act involving a person under the age of sixteen ***

A 'WOMAN' once again hardly a paedophile act.

Before speculating would it not be best to be informed of what offensive sexual contact was made, if any?
