Calls for Archbishop of York to resign over Church failings in sex abuse case
A spokesperson for Mr Cottrell said he had been in an “invidious situation” and did not have the legal power to sack the priest. Tudor was only banned from ministry two months ago — after he admitted historical sex abuse allegations relating to two girls.
However, the Bishop of Newcastle the Rt Rev Helen-Ann Hartley says Mr Cottrell could have done more and should resign as archbishop.
“It completely undermines his credibility that this case was not acted on,” she told BBC File on 4 Investigates.
“How can you have the moral and ethical authority to lead an institution with that?”
A woman who was paid £10,000 compensation by Tudor over claims he sexually abused her as a child says Mr Cottrell’s failure to act when he was told about the payment means he should “leave the Church”.
“I feel like he [Stephen Cottrell] has spat in my face,” says Jessica (not her real name).

The Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell is facing calls to resign over his handling of a sexual abuse case, days before he takes temporary charge of the Church of England.
