Yeah I actually forgot to mention that part, craziness though. Surely it was well within his power to demote him from area dean, let alone stop him being made honorary canon.
Those in a position of trust should never take advantage of a much younger person even if consensual. What of the churches ruling on no sex outside of marriage ? Abuse is abuse, technically legally acquitted in law does not mean unaccounted & is in fierce opposition to everything the Church stands for.
I can't speak for the legal issues and whether to take action against Tudor would have led to a failure to remove him because technically he was in the clear legally, but I would still hope that someone in the CoE would have spoken to Tudor and said, "Look, given your history - including sex with a 16 year old which you don't deny, this isn't a job for you." I still can't believe that he would be given positions of responsibility when he was barred from being with children or entering schools! I work in the CoE and we have seen little in the way of discipline of many fronts (not only safeguarding). We have bishops who don't believe their own doctrines, clergy who don't believe in the Resurrection and some who aren't even sure about God. Sadly we are about to allow ministers to be in same sex marriages while calling on them to uphold the teaching of the church (including that on marriage). No wonder many churches are looking for the exit and deciding that the institution is finished (though thankfully not the Church).
I agree - it's baffling to think that nothing could be done until 2019, and that it then took a further 5 years to ban Tudor from ministry for life. The COE is in a real mess at the minute, and I can't help but draw a line between the wide-scale rejection of Biblical teaching and the exposing of all of this stuff. It really feels like God is shaking things up there. I work in the COI and I just hope that we don't have those kinds of skeletons in our closet.
Did you see his so-called 'apology'? I've got a video coming out about it tonight. It's a huge pile of damage-control, self-praise and victim mentality.
It's a shame that people have reason to say that, but I get it. Personally, the priests I know are some of the best people I know; but people like those mentioned in the video tend to overshadow all the good that the others do.

It’s not just imposter Cottrell that must go, it is all the bishops who oppose his dismissal. They are a all disgrace to their office.
Cottrell reinstated Tudor and not only gave him a post but also made him an hon. Canon in Chelmsford Cathedral….inexcusable.

The problem is that none of these people REALLY understand that lives are wrecked by this sort of abuse They have no idea
It is an abomination. I know youngsters who have been affected in this way.

Totally - the fact that he 'got away with it' because he convinced the jury she was 16 is baffling. The girl herself says she was 15.
Cottrell is worse than Welby. Time to do the honourable thing, resign. Time to go now.

Abuse is 90% effected inside families. Where is the exposure in that situation?
Cottrell should go the way of Welby. Hopefully we can forget about the toxic pair of archbishops after that….
Here's hoping. It's hard to see how he could approve of Welby's resignation and yet himself refuse to resign.
Got to go - surely but he is not the apologising type. No humility.

Alfred Hitchcock gave sound advice to children.
' If you see a religious priest coming towards you.......run for your lives'.
It's a shame that people have reason to say that, but I get it. Personally, the priests I know are some of the best people I know; but people like those mentioned in the video tend to overshadow all the good that the others do.
Hitchcock is your saint?
