Former Bishop of Grimsby denies disgraced vicar's sex abuse was 'swept under carpet'

A former Bishop of Grimsby claims the behaviour of a disgraced vicar who subjected a child to sex abuse was not swept under the carpet when it was first reported to him.
Stephen Crabtree, a former rector in East Lindsey, was jailed for three years by Lincoln Crown Court after admitting six counts of indecent assault on a 15-year-old victim.  In court, it was said the victim had reported the offences to the then Bishop of Grimsby, the Rt Rev David Rossdale.
