A parish priest has gone on trial at Londonderry Crown Court charged with sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl.

Fr Eugene Boland, 66, and originally from Moville in County Donegal, denies five charges of indecently assaulting the girl from June 1990 to June 1992.

He is alleged to have committed the offences in a parochial house in Derry’s Galliagh area where the complainant did voluntary work.

The allegations were reported to police in 2010.
