Former Humberside Police Authority chairman Colin Inglis has been charged with 14 counts of indecent assault in relation to allegations of child abuse.

The claims date back to the 1980s when Mr Inglis worked as a social worker at a children's home in Hull. They were made by one of the former residents.

Last year, Humberside Police asked the North Yorkshire force to investigate.

Ex-police authority head chargedMr Inglis, who has strenuously denied the allegations, is due to appear before Hull magistrates on Tuesday.

The chairman of Humberside Police Authority has been suspended from the job pending the outcome of an inquiry into child abuse allegations.

Colin Inglis, 48, is being investigated over claims of child abuse made against him by a former children's home resident. He denies the allegations.

His Labour Party membership has also been suspended. The authority said that as Mr Inglis was no longer in the Labour Party he could not be a member of the body. Vice-chairman of the authority, Graham Shroud, said: "Since attaining the chair in January 2001 he has made a significant contribution to the police authority and Humberside Police Force."

Mr Inglis was arrested on Tuesday by North Yorkshire Police, which is conducting the inquiry.

He is currently on police bail

More news on this will appear later.... Fassit Comment: NOTE: IF FOUND GUILTY - Are we all expected to believe this suspected paedophile was only active in the 1980's, if so then the shrink responsible for his rapid recovery during 1990 -2005 should be persuaded in explaining to the Medical World and in particular psychiatry experts, the methods used for his miraculous recovery so that the same treatment can be prescribed to all the other known paedophiles worldwide.
