A Rochester priest charged with sexual abuse involving a child returned to court Wednesday. Father Dennis Sewar and his attorney John Speranza asked a judge to adjourn the case. Speranza also says he needs more time to file motions. Court papers show that the accuser says Father Sewar placed his hand on and near the accuser's genital area. Sewar's accuser says the incidents happened between 1999 and 2001 while Sewar served at the Church of Annunciation in Rochester.
