A former doctor who confessed to a monk that he sexually assaulted a boy has been found to have carried out the abuse.
Borthwick, of Southend Road, Bradfield, has been charged with four counts of indecent assault on one complainant, who was a child at the time the alleged offences were carried out.
Reacting to the outcome of the case, DC Joanne Williams describes the challenges surrounding the investigation, "This case is as old as the seventies and eighties. There isn't that. So it's very difficult. And we were very fortunate to have a witness who was able to tell us some things that the suspect had said, which strengthened our case."
