An 80-year-old former vicar, Ifor Whittaker, known as Colin Pritchard, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of eight years for raping a six-year-old boy in the 1990s. This is his third conviction for child sex offenses; he is already serving a 16-year sentence for earlier abuse. The Diocese of Chichester has issued an "unreserved" apology for the "appalling abuse."
