A former Anglican minister is facing historical sexual offences after a woman came forward and reported alleged abuse.
Meurig Pari Lloyd, a 79-year-old Chatham man, is charged with two counts of rape, two counts of gross indecency, two counts of intercourse with a girl under 14 and indecent assault on a female. Lloyd is scheduled to appear in court March 16.
Det. Jim Niven of the Chatham-Kent Police Service's major crime unit said the alleged incidents happened more than 40 years ago
The crimes allegedly took place inside St. Paul's Anglican Church, Holy Trinity Church and a private residence.
The complainant, who resides in Chatham-Kent, recently told police of incidents she says happened when she was between the ages of eight and 15. Niven said it's not uncommon for a sexual assault victim to wait decades before coming forward.
