[A former priest accused of abusing
members of a "cult-like" church group
he led has been found guilty of 17 counts
of indecent assault against nine women.
Chris Brain, 68, was head of the
Nine O'Clock Service (NOS),
an influential evangelical movement based
in Sheffield in the 1980s and 90s.

Brain, of Wilmslow, in Cheshire,
was convicted of the charges following
a trial at Inner London Crown Court.
He was found not guilty of another
15 charges of indecent assault,
while jurors are continuing to deliberate
on a further four counts of indecent
assault and one charge of rape.
Wearing a black suit and black shirt,
Brain showed no emotion as the jury
foreman delivered the verdicts.

The jury are expected to return to court
on Thursday to continue their deliberations
on the remaining counts.

During the trial, prosecutor Tim Clark KC said some
of the women had been sexually abused
after being recruited to a so-called
"homebase team" charged with looking
after Brain and his family.

He told the court the group became known
among NOS members as the "Lycra lovelies"
or the "Lycra nuns" after witnesses reported
seeing the defendant surrounded by
attractive women in lingerie at his home.]

The migrant wasn't at the hotel, either though. He was being held in custody.

There aren't hundreds of young priests hanging around town centres are there, or did I miss something, also there was a second assault inside the hotel

The 32-year-old has been charged with two counts of common assault, four counts of assault by beating and one count of sexual assault on a man.

The three-star establishment has been at the centre of a series of anti-migrant protests held outside state-funded accommodation for asylum seekers.

Coming back to the story, the good news is he will be sent down

We need to normalise being ashamed of tarring entire demographics with the same brush because of the actions of a few again.

Of course there will be. That’s how it works doesn’t it. Oh no hang on, this one is white. Maybe not

The goalposts are constantly moved for white criminals, it makes people’s real issues all the more clear on a regular basis

back to the original story .....

George Carey, shortly before his appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury, told Brain he would like to see a Nine O'Clock Service "in every town and city in Britain", according to the 1995 documentary.

By 1991, the Diocese of Sheffield had fast-tracked Brain's route to the priesthood, allowing him to become ordained after just two years, instead of the usual four.

I can't believe that I'm about to say this, as it's not a great endorsement by any means.

But the fact that the article is calling them “attractive women” makes me relieved that he didn't actually go for children.

Now we just need to hear about Priests not having a predator problem at all.
