A former Church of England bishop has been arrested on suspicion of abusing eight boys and men in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The Right Reverend Peter Ball, who resigned in 1993, was arrested at his home near Langport, Somerset, earlier.

He is being held over allegations of sexual abuse at properties in East Sussex and elsewhere.

The 80-year-old is a former bishop of Lewes and bishop of Gloucester.

Retired Church of England priest Vickery House, 67, was also arrested at his home near Haywards Heath, West Sussex, on suspicion of two sexual offences against two teenage boys in East Sussex between 1981 and 1983.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said the allegations were being dealt with separately.

They were the result of Lambeth Palace passing them details of two reviews into the safeguarding of young people in the Chichester Diocese, which includes Lewes, during the 1980s and early 1990s.

AFAIK, this is not a gay witch-hunt or media-mob justice .....
