A former children’s home worker and Catholic priest has pleaded guilty to a string of historical child sex abuse charges.
Philip Temple, 66, admitted seven charges committed in the 1970s when he appeared at Woolwich Crown Court.
He pleaded to 20 similar charges and two of perjury at Croydon Crown Court in April.
In all, he admitted abusing 12 boys and one girl while working in south London care homes and a north London church.
He also admitted lying on oath in the 1990s when he was cleared of child sex abuse charges following accusations by a teenage boy from his church.
