A barrister accused of abusing more than 100 children and young men was covered up by the Church of England for years, a report has found.
John Smyth QC is believed to be the most prolific serial abuser associated with the church, accused of abusing as many as 130 boys across five decades in the UK and Africa.
He died in 2018, aged 75, and the report by Hampshire Police found he was ‘never brought to justice for the abuse’.
