The Church of England faces scrutiny as thirty members could be dismissed for failing to act against John Smyth KC, a notorious abuser linked to their institution.
Archbishop Justin Welby resigned amidst mounting pressure over his inadequacy to report John Smyth's abusive behavior, which had been known at the highest levels for years.
Smyth's case highlights the institutional failures to protect vulnerable individuals, with an extensive record of abuse affecting approximately 130 boys across the UK and Africa.
Despite evidence of Smyth's abuses, police only initiated an investigation in 2017, following revelations through a Channel 4 News report, raising questions about accountability.
