The independent review concluded that the Church of England, including Archbishop Justin Welby, failed to investigate claims of sadistic abuse at Christian camps after 2013.
Justin Welby acknowledged that there was a clear failure to ensure an energetic investigation once allegations were reported in 2013, expressing regret for the oversight.
The report criticized the responses of various church officials as ineffective and tantamount to a coverup, highlighting a systemic failure to address serious allegations of abuse.
The review indicated that had John Smyth, the abuser, been reported to police in 2013, a full investigation may have unveiled the extensive abuse involving multiple victims.
