A damning report has uncovered a decades-long cover-up of abuse by John Smyth QC, who is described as the Church of England’s most prolific abuser, having assaulted over 100 boys and young men. The review details how Smyth exploited his position at evangelical summer camps to inflict severe abuse during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite early knowledge of his actions, church officials failed to act adequately, allowing Smyth to escape justice even after allegations were brought to light. The Archbishop of Canterbury apologized to victims, acknowledging the church’s failures and the unimaginable pain inflicted on the young men.
