David Fletcher: 'sexual abuse' allegations disclosed

The late David Fletcher

The Church of England says it has 'information of sexual abuse' by the late David Fletcher.

A statement was issued by the denomination after Channel Four broadcaster Cathy Newman wrote on social media platform X: 'On @channel4news tonight we reveal that the Reverend David Fletcher - the man who instigated the cover-up of John Smyth’s barbaric abuses - HIMSELF allegedly abused multiple girls. Exclusive interviews with three courageous women tonight at 7.'

Fletcher was a former rector of conservative evangelical Anglican church St Ebbe's, Oxford, and also a leader of the Iwerne Camps.
