A former Anglican bishop and monk was given a caution for sex abuse
and not charged in order to minimise embarrassment to the Church of
England, according to newly-released documents.
Peter Ball went from being Bishop of Lewes from 1977 to Bishop of Gloucester in 1992. He resigned just a year later in 1993 after receiving a poice caution for gross indecency with a teenage man, but was only jailed in October last year for a string of historic sex abuse offences.
