A retired vicar has today admitted his role in a castration ring with a self-styled 'Eunuch Maker' after he was found using nail scissors on a man's penis.

Geoffrey Baulcomb, 79, who was expelled from the Church of England last year by a disciplinary panel, was still ordained at the time of his offences.

The 79-year-old today pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent at the Old Bailey, after he was captured enlarging the opening of a man's urethra in a nine-second video of the incident.

The footage, which was found on the vicar's mobile phone, is said to have been filmed on January 4, 2020. He was later arrested in December 2022.

Baulcomb previously admitted to three counts of making indecent images of a child, namely one Category A image, four Category B images and 37 Category C indecent images.
