The victims of a former Anglican priest, expelled from the church after being convicted of sexual harassment under Canon law, worked at or were associated with workers at the church in which he served.

“The disciplinary tribunal sat in July. Two days after the reverend confirmed he would attend, he indicated on the day of the tribunal he would not attend. The tribunal went ahead in his absence,” said the Synod.

The Synod said the cleric was convicted under the canons of: sexual harassment for conducting himself in “a sexually immoral manner”, and involving himself in “inappropriate relationships and activities which gave just cause for scandal or offence”. In April a board of preliminary inquiry recommended that charges be brought against him and he resigned at the end of April.
