A former priest who is currently in prison for historic sex abuse is listed to appear in court again today (Thursday) facing 16 similar allegations.
Dennis Finbow, 76, of HMP Bure in Norwich, faces charges of indecent assault on girls and boys as young as eight years old in the 1980s.
Eight charges are for indecent assault on a girl under the age of 14; three are for indecent assault on a girl under the age of 16; and five for an indecent assault on a boy.
Fourteen incidents are alleged to have happened in Peterborough, one in St Neots and one in Windsor, Berkshire.
Finbow, who previously served in the parishes of Peterborough and St Neots, is listed to appear at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court this afternoon.
In December, he had his clerical status and rights removed by His Holiness Pope Francis.
Finbow was handed a prison sentence of six years and six months for indecent assault in March 2023 after being convicted of incidents dating back to the 1980s.
