John Smyth, a barrister who ran Christian summer camps in the 1970s and 1980s, committed physical, psychological and sexual abuse against more than 100 boys and young men.

An independent review led by Keith Makin found that Smyth had perpetrated "prolific and abhorrent" abuse over decades and that the response of the Church of England "amounted to a cover-up".

The abuse spanned five decades and three countries with as many as many as 130 boys and young men victimised, a review found.
