A former priest accused of abusing members of a church group he led has been found guilty of 17 counts of indecent assault.
Chris Brain, 68, was head of the Nine O’Clock Service (NOS), an influential evangelical movement based in Sheffield in the 1980s and 1990s.
Brain, of Wilmslow, in Cheshire, was convicted of the charges following a trial at Inner London Crown Court.
He was found not guilty of another 15 charges of indecent assault, while jurors are continuing to deliberate on a further four counts of indecent assault and one charge of rape.
