Priest raped and molested two young boys over almost two decades – and police say there could be MORE victims
By KIERAN CORCORAN
A former priest who raped and molested two boys for almost two decades has been jailed for 13 years.
Phillip Challis, 52, admitted 17 sexual offences carried out between 1991 and 2009 while he was a priest in Merton, southwest London.
He pleaded guilty to crimes including raping a child, indecent assault, attempted rape and taking indecent photographs.
Challis was caught by child abuse investigators in January after a 17-year-old boy came forward to say he had been abused by Challis since he was eight.
Police later found out that Challis had also abused a second male victim, who is now 29, since he was seven years old.
But a senior officer in the Metropolitan police today said it was ‘entirely possible’ that Challis abused more than two people.
