🚨UK BISHOP FACES JAIL FOR CHILD SEX ABUSE AS CHURCH ADMITS COVER-UP

Anthony Pierce, 84, the retired Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, has pleaded guilty to 5 counts of indecent assault against a boy under 16.

The Church in Wales has now admitted some members knew of a 1993 allegation but stayed silent.

Pierce’s crimes occurred between 1985 and 1990, but his victim only came forward in 2023. The Church has apologized and is considering stripping him of Holy Orders. An independent review has been launched into the Church’s handling of previous allegations.

Pierce will be sentenced on March 7.
