	British Priest Discusses False Abuse Accusation Catholic Culture May 19, 2011 http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=10372 A British parish priest falsely accused of sexual abuse has reflected on the experience in an interview with a local newspaper. Father Geoff Hilton, a former policeman who serves as a parish priest in Lancashire, said that he was "bewildered and confused" when he was arrested and fingerprinted last November and that "being removed from work and friends and family" to another location was particularly difficult. "There is no point in being bitter about it, because that does nobody any service at all." Police will not charge the person who lodged the false accusation.
