Canon Terrence Grigg is on trial at Hull Crown Court and denies 11 historic sex offences
A retired priest has gone on trial accused of a range of historic sex offences against boys and young men.
Canon Terrence Grigg, 84, former rector of St Mary’s Church in Cottingham, is alleged to have carried out the abuse against five complainants in the 1980s and 1990s.
Mr Grigg, of Grove Street, Malton, North Yorkshire, denies 11 indecent assaults against males and two other sex offences.
Opening the case against him on Monday at Hull Crown Court, Claire Holmes, prosecuting, told a jury of six men and six women: “The Crown say that during those years he identified five separate young men who were all vulnerable in some way, and he went on to use that vulnerability for his own sexual gratification.”
