	Vicar Denies 11 Child Sex Assaults The Herald November 5, 2009 http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/news/Vicar-denies-11-child-sex-assaults/article-1482892-detail/article.html A VICAR and former primary school teacher has appeared in court to deny five further offences of indecently assaulting children. The Rev Canon James Andrew Christopher Wilson, right, the Rector and Rural Dean of Calstock, now faces a total of 11 charges of indecency against boys and girls between 1973 and 1980. The 61-year-old has indicated not guilty pleas to all the allegations. Wilson faced four new counts at Plymouth Magistrates' Court yesterday of indecent assault on boys and another count of indecent assault on a girl. He has already appeared at the court charged with six counts of indecent assault on girls. Magistrates ruled that Wilson should be tried at crown court on all charges. Wilson, of The Rectory, Sand Lane, Calstock, appeared in court supported by several fellow clergymen and members of the public. He was ordained in 1982 but did not become a full-time priest until 1987, shortly after leaving the teaching profession. Wilson was released on unconditional bail until January 4, when the case is due to be committed to crown court.
