The Bishop of Guildford revealed today that he was a victim of a QC accused of sadomasochistic beatings of boys in the 1980s. Andrew Watson said he had endured a 'violent, excruciating and shocking' beating at the hands of John Smyth QC.
Mr Smyth is being investigated by Hampshire Constabulary over claims he
forced a string of boys to strip naked before beating them while at
church camps he ran, which were also attended by the Archbishop of
Canterbury.
