A MARGATE priest who had a rape charge against him dramatically dropped is planning to write a book about his 14-month ordeal.

Father John Taylor, 48, of Canterbury Road, walked free from Canterbury Crown Court on Monday after the prosecution offered no evidence against the Old Roman Catholic priest.

Father Taylor was arrested in February last year after a 28-year-old woman accused him of raping her.
