A church organist repeatedly sexually abused two young girls over a 10-year period, a court heard today.
Married Nigel Parkin, 56, befriended the girls and warned them they would not be believed if they told anyone what had happened, Taunton Crown Court heard.
Parkin, who played the organ at St Andrews’ Church in Wiveliscombe, Somerset, is accused of assaulting one girl over two years from when she was 11 and of assaulting and raping another from the age of nine to 16.
