A Roman Catholic priest appeared in court today charged over alleged historic sexual abuse at a children’s home in Hounslow.
Father Anthony McSweeney, 66, was in the dock at Southwark Crown Court with a former manager at the home, John Stingemore, 71.
McSweeney, who walks with a stick, faces three counts of indecent assault, three of making indecent images of a child, one of taking indecent images of a child and one of possessing indecent images of a child.
The charges came following an investigation into alleged abuse at Grafton Close Children’s Home in Hounslow, west London.
