A damning report on the worst abuse scandal in Church of England history shows that a “cover-up” by Winchester College left the attacker at large for more than 30 years after he was unmasked.

Last week Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, resigned after the Makin review found he had mishandled abuse allegations against John Smyth, an acquaintance and barrister who has been called the “most prolific serial abuser” in church history.

Smyth was found to have perpetrated “brutal and horrific” attacks on up to 130 boys and young men in Britain, Zimbabwe and South Africa over decades. He died in South Africa in 2018 before he could be brought to justice.

While the review focused on the failings of the church, its findings raise questions for Winchester, one of the most prominent public schools. Rishi Sunak was a pupil there in the 1990s.

Smyth had led the Christian forum at the school but in 1982 was forced out for abusing at least 22 pupils, 16 of whom were beaten, and six groomed. They were as young as 13. The school did not report him to police, leaving Smyth free to continue his abuse elsewhere.

In 2017 when a Channel 4 investigation unearthed Smyth’s abuses, Winchester insisted “nothing was held back in 1982”. It admitted it had failed to report matters to the police but presented this as a sign of its caring approach.

“No report was made to the police at the time, not least because, understandably, parents of the victims felt that their sons should be spared further trauma and these wishes were respected,” it told television producers.

However, the review by Keith Makin, a former director of social services, has found that Winchester made “a positive decision” not to report Smyth to the police “and, by so doing, cover-up those crimes”.

The review also challenges Winchester’s claim that parents did not want a police referral and suggests only a handful were consulted.

One victim told the inquiry that John Thorn, the headmaster, “was lying” when he claimed in 1982 that “he had consulted all the other parents and that everyone wanted it to be kept a secret”.

Regardless, the review goes on to state the school should have reported a “suspected crime to the police … whatever the views of parents”.

In 2017 Winchester defended its failure to report Smyth to the police by stating that it did its “best to deal responsibly and sensitively with a difficult situation, in accordance with the standards of the time”.

But the Makin review states unequivocally that whatever the “societal norms in 1982 … this does not … justify the non-reporting at the time”.

Thorn confronted Smyth and made him agree to seek psychiatric counselling and to end all contact with his victims and the school.

Remarkably Thorn wrote about the scandal in 1989 in his memoir, John Thorn’s Road to Winchester, yet still this did not lead to a police investigation.

He described how a neighbouring barrister built up a “secretive” Christian forum of 80 members. He wrote that some became “estranged from their families” and the barrister had to be “banished” to Africa because he had “gained such personal control over a few of the senior boys” that he was “claiming to direct their burgeoning relationships with girls, and was with their consent punishing them physically when they confessed to him they had sinned”.

Although Smyth was not named, he was readily identifiable and wrote to at least ten people, including two QCs, to defend himself.


In an interview with The Sunday Times in 2017, Thorn spoke of his regrets about his failure to alert police. He said: “Somehow it didn’t occur to one at that point to bother the police. I think now in retrospect, in respect to this ghastly man, it probably would have been more sensible to do that, but people at the time … the boys on the whole didn’t want that to happen. This was historically the case. They did not want any publicity at all and probably still don’t.

“We got this bugger out of the country — excuse my language — into Africa and said: Thank God that’s gone.”

At the time of the interview, lawyers acting for Winchester College sought to question the accuracy of Thorn’s recollections, citing his age and frailty and urged the newspaper not to publish.

This weekend Winchester College pointed to a review that the school commissioned into Smyth’s abuses, overseen by a social worker, and published in 2022. It made similar observations to the Makin review, finding that the school failed significantly by not consulting all parents about whether to go to the police, and that there was a reasonable prospect Smyth could have been convicted had the school done so.

The school added: “[The 2022 review] highlighted the school’s failure to prevent the abuse and its further failure in 1982 to prevent Smyth from moving overseas, where he continued to commit horrific acts of abuse against children. We wish to acknowledge the courage and determination of the victims in pursuing the truth about John Smyth, and we apologise unreservedly for the college’s part in their terrible experiences.”

Welby was warned about Smyth as early as 1981, while he was working in the oil industry and before he was ordained, but he told the review the warning was vague. Welby said he was never close to Smyth but knew him from Christian holiday camps and “exchanged Christmas cards” for several years.

Welby became Archbishop of Canterbury in 2013 and was formally made aware of the abuse allegations against Smyth that August. Welby was wrongly assured the allegations had been passed to police. But in fact no formal referral had been made.

The review criticised Welby and other senior figures for a “distinct lack of curiosity” and a “tendency towards minimisation of the matter”.

This weekend Welby was in Jerusalem on a “long-planned pilgrimage and solidarity visit”.

No date has been announced for his departure but the Reverend Ian Paul, a member of the Archbishops’ Council, who sponsored the petition that urged the resignation, said Welby could not continue to represent the church in public.

“I find it difficult to imagine him appearing in any public role at all. I think there will be protesters. The Archbishop of York is his effective deputy … I can’t think of anything where he can’t attend in his place.”

While the convention is that, on retirement, archbishops are awarded a life peerage and a permanent place in the House of Lords, some senior government figures are opposed to Welby being granted such a privilege.

Sources have said his position is uncertain, adding that officials have raised concerns about how the award of a life peerage would be viewed. Others in government believe it could still go through.

Stephen Cottrell, 66, the Archbishop of York, will take on Welby’s responsibilities during the protracted process of selecting a successor.

Cottrell is considered unlikely to replace Welby because archbishops have to retire at 70. The King will make the appointment following a nomination process by the Crown Nominations Commission. https://archive.md/P06eu

'Conspiracy of Silence' is a powerful, disturbing documentary revealing a nationwide child abuse and pedophilia ring that leads to the highest levels of government.

Featuring intrepid investigator John DeCamp, a highly decorated Vietnam war veteran and 16-year Nebraska state senator, "Conspiracy of Silence" reveals how rogue elements at all levels of government have been involved in systematic child abuse and pedophilia.

Originally scheduled to air in May of 1994 on the Discovery Channel, “Conspiracy of Silence” was yanked at the last minute due to formidable pressure applied by top politicians.
