Crown prosecutor Clare Jennings peppered Father Phil Jacobs with questions Wednesday, hammering away at his alleged sexual activities.
The 63-year-old Jacobs has been charged with four offences linked to boys, including two counts of sexual interference involving a person under 14, one count of sexual assault and one count of touching a young person for a sexual purpose.
The charges stem from incidents that allegedly occurred from September 1996 to June 2001.
Jacobs served as parish priest at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in Saanich from 1997 to 2002.
Since taking the stand Monday afternoon, Jacobs continued to use a firm, confident tone to deny the charges against him.
