Police probing a number of church sex abuse claims in Lincolnshire after an ex-vicar was jailed at Lincoln Crown Court.

Stephen Crabtree, who served as the rector of Washingborough and Heighington until 2014, was jailed for three years after admitting six counts of indecent assault on a 15-year-old girl.

He admitted the charges when he appeared before Lincoln Crown Court at an earlier hearing.

The offences were said to have occurred in the 12 months between April 1992 and April 1993.
