Church of England gags abuse victim with NDA

Presenter

A woman who claims she was abused by a vicar has told this programme that she was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement before reading an official review which accused the Church of England of mismanaging her complaints.

Jo Kind claims the vicar insisted on stripping off his clothes and wandering round the vicarage in a state of arousal when she worked as his PA at St John’s Church, Harborne in Birmingham, in the late 80s and early 90s.

A review this year found the church mishandled the complaints. Tonight we are broadcasting the details and naming the vicar for the first time.
