Six-figure payout for man abused by Yorkshire vicar

A man who suffered a horrifying catalogue of sexual abuse at the hands of a West Yorkshire vicar has spoken of his ordeal for the first time.

The man, whom we are calling David, endured eight years of physical torment and years more of psychological trauma, but it's only decades later that he has just won a six-figure payout from the Church of England.

His abuser, the Reverend Terence King, escaped justice just as he was about to be unmasked.

He killed himself in his retirement home in York after David finally went to the police.
