A church worker from Saltford, found guilty of committing 13 sex crimes on a child, has continued to protest his innocence, reports the Bristol Post.
Christian youth worker Philip Stephen Barlow, 33, denied the sexual abuse charges and has claimed his trial was mishandled by a “biased” judge.
Married father Barlow walked a free man despite being sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail in April 2015 having already spent the equivalent time behind bars when he was awaiting his trial.
Barlow, of Raleigh Close in Saltford, near Bath, had been facing a second trial, having previously had convictions overturned by the Court of Appeal.
