Reverend Peter Jarvis, 50, faces 12 charges of sexual offences against two teenage girls and two teenage boys
A vicar who counselled vulnerable teenagers asked an under-age girl how much she would charge him to have sex and suggested youngsters send him pictures of themselves undressed, a court heard.
Reverend Peter Jarvis, of Clares Green Road, Spencers Wood, is also alleged to have set up an underage girl with boyfriends and encouraged them to have sex and bought one boy cannabis and asked him to take his trousers down.
The 50-year-old appeared at Reading Crown Court today facing 12 charges of sexual offences against two teenage girls and two teenage boys between June 1, 2008 and October 31, 2011, which he denies.
A jury was told how Jarvis would build up relationships with children he was counselling and meet up with them socially and chat on Facebook.
