A former church leader and his wife have been charged with a total of 16 counts of r*pe following an investigation into alleged offences dating back nearly two decades.

Stephen Timmis, 68, and his wife Janet Timmis, 61, both from Sheffield, each face eight charges relating to the same alleged victim.

South Yorkshire Police said the alleged offences took place between May and September 2008, when Stephen was serving as a leader at The Crowded House Church in Sheffield.

The couple have been released on bail and are scheduled to appear before Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on December 1.

Following the charges, detectives issued an appeal to people who may have attended the church during the relevant period.

Investigators believe former congregation members or others connected to the religious community could hold information relevant to the case.

Police have encouraged anyone with concerns or potentially useful information to come forward, assuring them that appropriate support will be available.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Neither defendant has been convicted of the alleged offences, and the charges have yet to be tested in court.

Anyone with information is urged to contact South Yorkshire Police on 101 or through its online reporting service.
