A Church of England priest held secret talks with police in an attempt to cover up the scale of sex offending by a senior bishop who was a friend of the royal family, according to documents seen by The Times.

The priest, a former police officer, set out to disprove the police case against Peter Ball but concluded in a confidential report in 1993 that the cleric had abused “very many young men who passed through his care."
