TWO EASTBOURNE men, believed to be retired priests, have been arrested at their homes this morning in connection with historic sex abuse.

A 73-year old man was arrested at his home in Eastbourne on suspicion of sexual assaults committed against nine young people between1965 and 1972.

A second man, who is 70-years-old, was also arrested on the same morning at his address in connection with alleged sexual assaults against three young men in late 1970s and mid-1980s.

The arrests result from an investigation over the past six months by a team of specialist Sussex Police child protection detectives.
