A retired Church of England priest from West Sussex has denied a string of sex offences against boys and young men dating back more than 40 years.
Vickery House, 69, of Brighton Road, Handcross, pleaded not guilty to eight charges of indecent assault at the Old Bailey on the first day of his trial.
The case before Judge Christine Henson is expected to be opened on Tuesday.
Mr House is charged with indecent assaults against six males aged 15 to 34 between 1970 and 1986.
The first two charges allege he indecently assaulted a boy of 15 between April 1970 and April 1971.
