Father Jeremiah McGrath, 62, of the Parochial House in Rosslea, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court.

The alleged offences occurred between May and November 2005 in England.

Fr McGrath, who denies the charges, was ordered to stay at an address in Sussex, surrender his passport and was banned from entering Merseyside.
