A Roman Catholic priest in Bradford has been charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl.
Father William Finnegan, parish priest at St Clare’s RC Church in Fagley , has appeared before magistrates and will face trial before a crown Court jury.
The 59-year-old priest was arrested in April this year in connection with the allegation and was bailed for further police inquiries.
