A Roman Catholic priest from West Sussex has appeared in court charged in relation to alleged historic sexual abuse at a children’s home.
Father Anthony McSweeney, 66, was in the dock at Westminster Magistrates’ Court with a former manager at the home, John Stingemore, 71.
The men, who face child sex charges, were sent to Southwark Crown Court, where they will appear on September 18.
McSweeney 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, following an investigation into abuse alleged to have taken place at Grafton Close Children’s Home in Hounslow, west London.
