Church of England admits failure over 'sadistic' abuse of sisters
82% Informative
Church admits failure over sisters' 'sadistic' abuse at a north-east England church.
Three sisters say they were "frequently" abused as young children by their father, a female church warden and a male curate.
They reported the abuse three times to the Church and police years later but inadequate action was taken.
Independent review found the Church 's failure to take action "compounded" the sisters' trauma.
Cleveland Police "missed opportunities" to investigate for which the force apologised.
The Church of England said it was "truly sorry" for the response the sisters received when they made their initial reports.
Their father was arrested in 1992 when they first reported abuse but neither the curate nor Ms Wairing were interviewed.
Another complaint was made to police in 2003 but there was no investigation.
Cleveland Police has apologised to the sisters and said it missed opportunities in 1993 and 2003 .
