A church minister has been arrested over an allegation of historical child abuse.

The man, from Johnstown, Carmarthen, has been suspended from duties at two chapels pending the outcome of a police investigation.

Dr Geraint Tudur, general secretary of the Union of Welsh Independents, told the BBC his members were “naturally traumatised”.

Dyfed Powys Police said: “An 81-year-old man was arrested in connection with an historic allegation of sexual activity with a minor.

“He remains on police bail while enquiries continue.”
