A former priest accused of leading an evangelical cult in the Church of England claims his followers gave him “sensual” massages to relieve his tension headaches as he stands trial for sexually abusing 13 women.
Christopher Brain, who led the rave-style Nine O-Clock Service (NOS) in Sheffield in the 80s and 90s, allegedly surrounded himself with women who wore lingerie or revealing clothes as part of his “homebase team” who kept his house “spotlessly clean”.
