A woman who was allegedly sexually assaulted by a Sydney priest says there was no point telling anyone because they wouldn’t have believed her.

The woman, who says she was indecently assaulted by Finian Egan in the late 1980s, gave evidence in his trial on Thursday.

She told the court that Egan would usually touch or rub her breasts when he hugged her.
On one occasion when he saw her hug her boyfriend he became angry.

She said he told her into a room, sat her on his lap and rubbed and touched her legs and thighs and told her the boy wasn’t good enough for her.
