THE jury in the trial of a Roman Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing eight boys is expected to start considering its verdict on Monday.

Judge Paul Glenn spent yesterday summing up the case of Alexander Bede Walsh who faces 27 charges including indecency and indecent assault.

The 58-year-old, who lives in church accommodation in Church Lane, Abbots Bromley, near Rugeley, denies all the charges.

He served as a priest in Cheadle for 14 years and also spent time in Newcastle and Burslem.
