Former chaplain at Norwich City Football Club who officiated Frank Bruno’s wedding in court on child sex charges
A former chaplain at Norwich City Football Club appeared in court today with the former manager of a children’s home accused of sexually abusing boys in the 1980s.
Father Tony McSweeney, 66, and John Stingemore, 71, allegedly molested children as young as nine from the now closed Grafton Close Children’s Home in Hounslow, west London.
They are accused of abusing the children between 1980 and 1981 while Stingemore was in charge of the council-run home and McSweeney was a local trainee priest.
McSweeney, who officiated at the 1990 wedding of boxer Frank Bruno and his former wife Laura, and was once the part-time chaplain at Norwich City, is facing three counts of indecent assault on young boys.
