	Former Priest Denies Child Sex Abuse Charges Birmingham Mail November 10, 2009 http://www.birminghammail.net/news/birmingham-news/2009/11/10/former-priest-denies-child-sex-abuse-charges-65233-25135737/ A former Roman Catholic priest who was extradited from America to face sexual abuse allegations today denied the charges against him. James Robinson, 72, is alleged to have committed a string of offences against young boys between 1959 and 1983 in the West Midlands and Wales. He faces a total of 22 charges, including 12 counts of indecent assault and three of gross indecency. The former clergyman, whose full name is Richard John James Robinson, is known to have worked in the Birmingham and Coventry areas up until the mid-1980s, when he moved to California. He was extradited from the West Coast state in August this year. Robinson spoke only to confirm his name and enter his pleas during a brief hearing at Birmingham Crown Court. He was remanded in custody to appear at the same court for trial on a date to be fixed next year.
