Church of England commissioned review into how it handled disclosures that a vicar raped a 16-year-old boy

John Sentamu, the former archbishop of York, failed to act on disclosures that a Church of England vicar raped a 16-year-old boy, a report commissioned by the church has found.

Lord Sentamu immediately rejected the conclusions of the report, saying the author, an experienced safeguarding investigator, had a fundamental misunderstanding" of the responsibilities of bishops and archbishops.
