Bishop of Liverpool denies sex assault allegations

The Church of England said it had also investigated the complaints, with a complaint of alleged misconduct first made in early in 2023.

A spokesperson said the investigation “concluded that there were no ongoing safeguarding concerns, but a learning outcome was identified with which the bishop fully engaged”.

“The complaint was also investigated by the police which resulted in no further action.”

The statement continued: “Shortly after the start of this process a further disclosure was made by another woman.

“The information brought by the second complainant was explored and assessed not to be a safeguarding matter but a matter of alleged misconduct.

“Pastoral support has been provided throughout for the second complainant and is ongoing.”

Originally from Kerala in South India, Bishop John was ordained into the Church of North India in 1994.

He moved to the UK in 2001, first taking up positions in the Diocese of Rochester.
