POLICE have charged a former primary teacher- turned-vicar with five more offences of indecency against children.

The Rev Canon James Andrew Christopher Wilson, the Rector and Rural Dean of Calstock, has already appeared before magistrates on six counts of indecent assault on girls.


Police yesterday charged Wilson with a further four counts of indecent assault on boys and another count of indecent assault on a girl.

The charges date back to the late 1970s.

He was ordained in 1982 but did not become a full-time priest until 1987, shortly after leaving the teaching profession.

Wilson, who is currently on bail, pleaded not guilty to the original six charges when he appeared at Plymouth Magistrates' Court on September 16. He is expected to return to court on November 4 to face the most recent charges.
