The court case of a Roman Catholic priest charged with sexually assaulting a young woman is expected to be concluded next week.

Rev. Patrick Robert Offin's case was called in provincial court today. His lawyer, Gerry O'Brien, told the court the case will likely be resolved without need for a trial when it is called again Dec. 17.

Offin is facing one charge of sexual assault stemming from an alleged Aug. 21 incident at the priest's house. The 55-year-old from Ghana, West Africa, was serving a two-month stint at Holy Cross parish in Holyrood at the time.
