THE trial of defrocked Hunter Catholic priest John Sidney Denham has been transferred to Sydney.
Denham, 70, is charged with sexually assaulting 17 boys at Hunter Catholic schools in the 1970s.
In Newcastle District Court yesterday he was not required to enter pleas to 43 charges of abusing boys at St Pius X school Adamstown between 1977 and 1979, and at Rutherford, Wingham, Toronto and in the Hornsby area.
The court was told the trial had to be moved to Sydney because of Crown estimates it would run for three weeks.
