IN the NEWS - On to Liverpool [Another 24 Years]

 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 13:13
 
"A former vicar who indecently assaulted a choirboy in the 1980s was today found guilty of abusing more children.... in a "despicable" exploitation of trust has been jailed.
Rev John Roberts, 86 and of Cherry Vale, Woolton, was found guilty of ten counts of indecent and sexual assault at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday.

Roberts was vicar at St Peter's Church in Woolton, which is known as the "Beatles church" due to it being where John Lennon and Paul McCartney met.

Roberts was allowed to carry on working for 24 years despite his 1980s conviction.

And tragically, one of his victims whose complaint to police took the case to court, died recently and didn't get the chance to see justice delivered.

He was jailed for nine years." AbuseTracker/Echo
