SUSSEX Police are reviewing a dossier of information into disgraced former Sussex bishop, the Right Reverend Bishop Peter Ball.
The former Bishop of Lewes resigned in 1993 after being cautioned for an act of gross indecency against a teenager.
Now BBC Sussex is reporting that Sussex Police is reviewing files dating back 20 years to consider whether any future prosecution might be made.
