A Strict Baptist pastor has told his congregation he allowed his son-in-law to join the church and later be appointed deacon, despite knowing, since 2009, of his historic child sex crimes.

Ben Kinderman, who grew up in a Baptist household, committed a number of sex offences against two girls aged ten and six more than two decades ago. He admitted four offences and last year was sentenced to three years in prison.
