A DEFROCKED priest facing historic child sex assault charges is expected to stand trial in relation to two of 11 alleged victims.
He faced Armidale Local Court heard today.
Crown prosecutor Peter Woods told the court there was “substantial agreement” in relation to the facts regarding nine of the alleged victims and a plea offer would be made.
“In relation to two victims, there is no agreement and we expect those matters to go to trial,” he said.
Mr Woods said the defence and the Crown were agreed on a number of facts relating to certain charges.
