A retired vicar who held a position on the Isle of Man has been found guilty of two counts of indecent assault on a minor.

Graham Gregory - who's 79 - has been sentenced to three-years imprisonment for assaulting a 13-year-old girl over 40-years ago.

He was acquitted of two further counts of the same crime following a retrial at Kingston Crown Court.

The Metropolitan Police says the incidents took place between 1969 and 1971 in Wandsworth in England.

The force is urging anyone who may have been a victim of Gregory's abuse to make contact with the authorities.
