Oxford University Theology Grad Charged With Rape


A former Oxford University theology student, who trained to be a Church of England priest, appeared in court for the first time today charged with rape and other serious sexual offences.

Timothy Storey, 34, South City Court, Peckham Grove, Peckham appeared in custody via video link at Bromley Magistrates Court.

Dressed in a dark blue top a pensive-looking bespectacled Storey, who kept his head down, spoke only to confirm his name, age, and address during the six-minute hearing.

He is charged with one count of raping a woman on or about March 25, within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, and two counts of attempting to rape the same complainant.

Storey is also charged with assault by penetration and sexual assault of the woman on or about March 25.

He is further charged with breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, imposed at Woolwich Crown Court, by using the internet and deleting the internet history on his phone between May 13 and 17 and failing to make his phone available to police on May 17.

No bail application was made and Storey was remanded in custody to appear at Woolwich Crown Court on June 2 for a preliminary hearing.
