Complete title: Former Archbishop of Canterbury could face police probe into whether he broke the law by covering up for a paedophile bishop

o Police are considering a formal inquiry into Church of England's former leader

o Lord Carey, 82, could face being interviewed under caution in investigation

o Rev Peter Ball indecently assaulted 18 boys and young men from 1977 to 1992

o Former leaders could face criminal charges for not passing on abuse complaints

The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, could face a police investigation into whether he broke the law by covering up for a paedophile bishop.

Officers are understood to be considering a formal inquiry to determine whether the former leader of the Church of England and other senior church officials should face criminal charges over their failure to pass on sex abuse complaints made against ex-bishop Peter Ball.

Such an investigation would be highly controversial and may involve 82-year-old Lord Carey being interviewed under caution.

Sources say police are collecting evidence and scrutinising a scathing Church of England report commissioned by the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

It concludes that senior church figures 'colluded' to protect Ball and says the decision by Lambeth Palace not to pass the complaints to police 'must give rise to a perception of deliberate concealment'.

I think that there is a link between the pedophiles in the British establishment and the Muslim grooming gangs raping girls all over Britain. The koranimals could have only been granted that level of protection from some very powerful and connected politicians.
