The bishop rejects the error.
Liverpool bishop John Perumbalath on Thursday resigned for allegations of sexual harassment that two women raised against him. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, has recently resigned for the allegedly coverage of sexual abuse. He is the highest representative of the Anglican Church after the British king. TASR reports according to AFP.
Channel 4 News reported on Wednesday that two women have accused Liverpool Bishop Peumbalath of “inappropriate behavior.” One of the women of the bishop accused her that she had kissed and funged her without consent, the other woman testified of sexual harassment. that “a hasty judgment and a media pressure against him have caused his position to be unsustainable.”
Rejects allegations
The bishop rejects the accusations in 2023. According to him, the church investigative team checked them and found that they were “unsubstantiated”. He claims that the case was also dealt with by the police who have not taken any further steps.
“Nevertheless, I was treated with me in the reports and the media as guilty and these accusations were considered a fact,” he said.
The Anglican Church has been in sexual scandals in the past period. Archbishop of Canterbury Welby resigned in November last year after the finding of an independent investigation that in 2013 the office did not report the case of probably the largest abuse and sexual abuse in the Anglican Church.
It is a case of lawyer John Smyth, who in the 1970s and 80s as a volunteer co -organized children’s church camps in the United Kingdom and later in Africa. According to the report known as Makin Review, he was responsible for abuse of up to 130 boys and young men.
The calls for resignation did not bypass the temporary welby representative of Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell. Critics say that at the time he was a bishop in Chelmsford in southeastern England, he was inappropriately addressed by another sexual abuse.
