A MAN has told a court how a priest tried to have sex with him in a church while he was at a children’s home.

The man, now in his thirties, told Leeds Crown Court he was young at the time and could not remember the name of the priest at the St William’s home in Market Weighton.

The prosecution claim the alleged offender was former chaplain Anthony McCallen, 69, who is on trial alongside former headmaster James Carragher, 75, and ex-teacher Michael Curran, 62.
