A former priest will appear before a Crown Court judge today charged with sexually abusing four boys in the 1980s and 1990s.
Alexander Bede Walsh, of Abbots Bromley, near Rugeley, Staffordshire, was charged with 17 counts of indecent assault and two other sexual offences in January this year, following a detailed investigation by detectives from Staffordshire Police.
The 57-year-old is alleged to have committed the offences against boys aged between eight and 16 while serving as a priest in Coventry and the Cheadle area of north Staffordshire.
Walsh, who is currently on bail, will appear at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court for a plea hearing this morning.
