All complaints against the former Bishop of Lewes, the Right Rev Wallace Benn, in connection with his handling of a child abuse case have been dismissed.

In November 2011, a complaint was made to former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, about the Bishop, who retired last year.

The complaints concerned the case of Robert Coles, a former parish priest who was sentenced in February to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to sex offences against young boys in West Sussex.
