Father Francis Moore denies the accusations of assault that allegedly took place 40 years ago
A PRIEST accused of sexually abusing a boy of five offered to take a lie detector test, a court heard today.
Fr Francis Moore, 82, denied assaulting the child at a primary school when he was quizzed by police about the claims.
The High Court in Glasgow heard he told cops probing two alleged incidents 40 years ago at St Mark’s primary in Irvine, Ayrshire: “It is absolutely untrue. I would take a lie detector test.
“It disgusts me that would happen to a child.”
