Cathedral panel to explain history of paedophile bishop

Peter Ball was Gloucester's bishop from 1992 to 1993 and resigned after being cautioned for sexual abuse.

But he continued to officiate at several churches. And it was not until 2015 that Ball was sentenced to 32 months’ imprisonment for misconduct in public office and indecent assault. He admitted the abuse of 18 young men over 15 years from 1977 to 1992.

Ball pleaded not guilty to indecent assaults on two boys aged 13 and 15 in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The CPS decided not to proceed with these charges.
