A Roman Catholic priest from Staffordshire has been found guilty of committing sexual offences against seven boys between 1975 and 1993.
A jury at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, which is still considering four further counts against Alexander Bede Walsh, took around six hours to find him guilty of 18 charges of indecent assault and another serious sexual offence.
The jury also acquitted the 58-year-old of three counts of indecent assault and one of indecency with a child.
