South London pastor charged with sexual offences

Revd Howard Curtis, 71, was the senior pastor at Coulsdon Christian Fellowship. He left the church in July last year when police arrested him and began investigating claims of sexual and child cruelty allegations.

The Metropolitan Police gave Premier this statement: "Howard Curtis, age 71, has been charged with six counts of child cruelty, two counts of indecent assault, four counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual assault by penetration.

"The charges relate to offences against eight alleged victims between 1969 and 2012.

"He has been bailed to appear at Croydon Magistrates Court on 31 October."

Revd Curtis denies the charges.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
