Lyon Diocese Searched In Hunt For Paedophile Priest Ring.

Lyon (AFP) - French investigators searched the offices of the diocese of Lyon on Wednesday over the alleged cover-up of a paedophile priest, a source close to the probe said.

The diocese said in a statement that the Archbishop of Lyon, Philippe Barbarin, who is under fire over his handling of the affair, "has said repeatedly that he is prepared to cooperate openly with the investigation".

The search of the offices is linked to the prosecution of Bernard Preynat, a priest who has admitted sexually abusing scouts that he was supervising in the Lyon area of central France more than 25 years ago.

Preynat's victims have filed a formal complaint against Barbarin and other leading clergy, accusing them of failing to inform the police of the priest's acts when he became aware of them in 2008.

"As part of the preliminary investigation opened by the Lyon prosecutor, the diocese of Lyon has today handed over to investigators material which could shed light on these tragic events," the diocese said in a statement.

Barbarin, 65, a media-friendly and influential archbishop, has denied any cover-up and pointed out that the crimes date from a decade before he became archbishop of Lyon in 2002.

Last week, he apologised during a mass to victims of sexual abuse.

Quoting Pope Francis, Barbarin said he was "obliged to assume all the evil committed by some priests and personally apologise for the damage they have caused by sexually abusing children."

The scandal is the worst to hit the Catholic Church in France since 2001, when a bishop was given a three-month suspended jail sentence for failing to inform authorities of a paedophile priest.

The Catholic Church worldwide continues to be dogged by cases of paedophile priests and past cover-ups, despite Pope Francis' promise of a crackdown.

Ex-Nottinghamshire Police Inspector Russell Dew Jailed.

From 2011.

A former Nottinghamshire Police inspector has been jailed for six years for committing sex offences against a 13-year-old schoolgirl.

Russell Dew, 44, groomed his victim by sending more than a thousand emails to the teenager using his police email account, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

He admitted five counts of sexual activity with a child, which took place last year.

The judge said Dew was a dangerous offender who abused his position.

'Obsessed with girl'

The court heard that while Dew was off duty he became obsessed with the schoolgirl and invited her to his home near Newark, where he changed into a skirt and tights before committing the offences.

In one instance, Dew was wearing his police issue handcuffs.

The victim's mother, who became increasingly worried about how close the police inspector and her teenage daughter were becoming, tried to warn Dew off, the court heard.

The offences were brought to light after the girl complained to her teacher and Dew was arrested.

Initially, Dew claimed the schoolgirl was trying to blackmail him.

However investigators found that Dew, who was based at Mansfield Police Station, sent more than a thousand emails to the teenager using his police email account.

In one of the emails, Dew admitted pushing the boundaries and asked if he should stay away from her.

He was suspended from the force after the arrest and resigned from Nottinghamshire Police on 18 August.

Disabled children in Wales 'three times more likely to suffer abuse than able-bodied'.

Disabled children are three times more likely to be abused than non-disabled children in Wales and are less likely to get the protection they need, a new report has revealed.

The NSPCC publication, which will be launched in Cardiff today, claims people’s reluctance to believe disabled children are suffering physical, sexual and emotional abuse is to blame.

The charity says there are “barriers” for the families of disabled children in accessing the right support services.

And it also blames a lack of professional skills, expertise and confidence in identifying child protection concerns and criticises the weakness of an effective child protection response across the UK.

The NSPCC fears cases go unreported because some disabled children have difficulties in communicating what is happening to them.

In addition, there are claims disabled children in residential care face particular risks of harm.

Mark Drakeford, Minister for Health and Social Services, will be at the Millennium Centre today to help unveil the report with the help of schoolchildren from Ysgol Pen-y-Bryn in Morriston, Swansea.

He said: “Enabling children to recognise and understand different forms of abuse is key to ensuring we respond effectively to concerns when they arise.

“The Social Services and Well-being Wales Act will strengthen the statutory framework which underpins how professionals who work with children and adults at risk ensure that they are protected from abuse.”

The report, called We Have a Right to be Safe, makes a number of recommendations to lower the levels of abuse.

It has called on the Welsh Government to introduce sex and relationships education for disabled children to raise their awareness of abuse and their ability to seek help.

The charity also wants to develop a “wider and deeper evidence base” to help the public better understand the vulnerability of disabled children to abuse and how they can be protected.

Viv Laing, NSPCC policy and public affairs manager for Wales, said: “Today’s report does demonstrate that there is knowledge and good practice out there but also that we need to share and build on that to ensure that our disabled children and young people are equally protected.

“We’re very much hoping to work alongside Welsh Government over the coming years to develop our knowledge of the issues facing disabled children and young people in Wales.

“This will help us better understand the issues they, and those who care for them, face so that they can be better protected.”

Ysgol Pen-Y Bryn is also to be the first special school in Wales to pilot an adapted version of the ChildLine Schools Service.

The ground-breaking service, which has to date visited 38,607 children across 684 schools in Wales, uses trained volunteers to help children understand abuse and recognise it if it occurs.

Aron Bradley, deputy headteacher at Ysgol Pen-y-Bryn, said: “As the report identifies, bullying is a particular area of increased risk for disabled children – because they’re more vulnerable.

“It’s very important for them to know what it is and where to get help and we’re pleased that the ChildLine Schools Service will help re-enforce that message.

“They will also provide valuable expert knowledge on sensitive issues which are not easily addressed in school.”

During today’s event, two new bilingual versions of the NSPCC’s successful Underwear Rule guide will also be launched to help parents teach children with learning disabilities and Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) about sexual abuse.

The guides were produced in association with Mencap and the National Autistic Society.
