A deacon has appeared in court over 41 counts of indecent assault following a historical sexual abuse investigation at a Greater Manchester school.
Reverend Alan Morris, 63, from Hale, who taught at St Ambrose RC College in Hale Barns, Altrincham, is accused of offences between 1972 and 1991.
He did not enter a plea at Manchester Magistrates Court and will appear at the city’s Crown Court on 15 August.
The Diocese of Shrewsbury said he had been “withdrawn from active ministry”.
The allegations involve 29 former pupils of the boys-only school, who were aged between 11 and 17 at the time.
