A PRIEST accused of sexually abusing three altar boys is now “likely” to be facing charges against four more alleged victims.

Francis Paul Cullen, who spent 18 years working at Christ the King Catholic Church, on the Mackworth Estate, was extradited this summer from Tenerife, where he had been living.

The 85-year-old had been detained on a European arrest warrant issued by Britain.

He appeared at Derby Crown Court yesterday, wearing a khaki-coloured T-shirt over a short-sleeved shirt and beige trousers, for a plea and case management hearing.
