A CHRISTIAN charity boss has resigned after having an affair with a volunteer he helped to rescue from sex slavery.
Married father-of-three Wilson Chowdhry, 47, has admitted there were “moral failures” over his sexual relationship with a 33-year-old Australian woman.
When the affair ended in 2019, she told police Chowdhry had raped her in オーストラリア.
Police there and in the UK investigated but did not bring charges.
She went to the Charity Commission, which began a probe last year.
Chowdhry then quit as chairman of Essex-based British Pakistani Christians Ltd.
Last month the regulator published a report into the charity.

Chowdhry once received an award from ボリス・ジョンソン for his charitable work.
