Openly gay bishop cleared of misconduct allegations
A clergyman seeking to be the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop was cleared of late allegations. Bishop Gordon Scruton of western Massachusetts ruled no full inquiry of Rev. V Gene Robinson was needed after reviewing claims of inappropriate touching and a link to a pornography site. He spoke with the complainant, who declined to pursue a formal complaint, and said the case would not derail Robinson’s path to becoming New Hampshire’s bishop.
