Vicar who knew of husband's sex abuse struck off
Helen Greenham admitted failing to disclose to church officials husband Peter Jenkins' abuse of girlsA vicar who failed to disclose to the Church of England her husband's sexual abuse of children has been barred from the ministry.
The BBC learned last year her failure to disclose knowledge of Jenkins' behaviour had spanned a period between her appointment and 2019, when criminal proceedings began, after which time the pair separated., she admitted exposing others to risk of harm as a consequence. There was a further admission that she had failed to manage the risk by allowing him to perform roles within the church.
Waiving her right to anonymity, Georgina Rothwell said she was speaking in the hope of encouraging other abuse victims to come forward, including any more harmed by Jenkins. She said she was raped by him and, aged 13, had an abortion while Jenkins was a student in the north of England in the late 1980s.
