Ex-Priest Chris Brain Guilty of 17 Indecent Assaults
A former priest, Chris Brain, has been found guilty of 17 counts of indecent assault against nine women. Brain, 68, led the Nine O’Clock Service (NOS), a prominent evangelical group in Sheffield during the 1980s and 90s. The convictions were handed down following a trial at Inner London Crown Court. The jury acquitted Brain of 15 other charges, while deliberations continue on additional counts of indecent assault and one count of rape.
