A pervert priest and his sex offending organist friend who assaulted children are due to be sentenced today.

Church organist Michael Mytton, 69, and Father Keith Wilkie Denford, 78, were last month found guilty of a string of child sex abuse offences dating back more than 25 years.

Following a two-week trial at Hove Crown Court, Denford, of Broad Reach Mews, Shoreham, was found guilty of three counts of indecent assault against two boys between January 1987 and January 1990 and cleared of one count of the same charge.

Mytton, of South Road, East Chiltington, was cleared of one count of aiding and abetting indecent assault and cleared of two counts of indecent assault.
