A priest is under investigation over allegations he took advantage of vulnerable patients during his work as a nurse.
Stephen Sheridan, who worked at Stone Cross, near Pevensey, until last summer, is accused of behaving inappropriately with patients between 2002 and 2010 while working for the NHS in Worthing.
The Diocese of Chichester has provided a report to the nursing watchdog, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which is leading the investigation into Mr Sheridan, who is accused of misconduct.
Barnaby Hone, acting on behalf of the NMC, said Mr Sheridan used his position in the church to act in an inappropriate way and that his behaviour was “sexually motivated”.
