The investigation into sexual abuse allegations at a London Baptist church widened yesterday as more people contacted police with complaints.

"As a result of the charges laid (Thursday), additional information has come to light," Const. Amanda Pfeffer said.

Police aren't saying how many more complaints they received yesterday or whom they were about.

Ambassador Baptist Church pastors Roy Wood and Brian Fast along with deacon William Fletcher and church member Russell Wilson were charged Thursday with multiple sex offences involving several youths and a woman.

The children told police they were assaulted at the church or while in the care of church members.
