A Church of England priest at the center of a sexual abuse case was twice reappointed to a senior role during the Archbishop of York’s time as Bishop of Chelmsford, the BBC can reveal. A BBC investigation previously revealed how David Tudor remained in post nine years after Stephen Cottrell was first told of concerns about him. New information shows Tudor’s contract as area dean in Essex was renewed in 2013 and 2018, at which times Mr Cottrell knew he had paid compensation to a woman who says she was abused by him as a child.
