Canon Terrence Grigg is on trial at Hull Crown Court and denies 11 historic sex offences
A man who claims he was sexually assaulted by a Cottingham priest has told a jury he was “paraded” by him in a gay bar “as a trophy”.
The complainant is one of five men who allege they were sexually abused by Canon Terrence Grigg, former rector of St Mary’s Church, in the 1980s and 1990s.
Mr Grigg, 84, of Grove Street, Malton, North Yorkshire, is on trial at Hull Crown Court and denies nine indecent assaults and two other sex offences.
The complainant, the first witness to give evidence in the case, gave a DVD recorded police interview two years ago, which was played to the jury on Monday. He told the court on Tuesday that after watching the video this month in preparation for the trial, he then made a further statement to police concerning an out of town visit he made with Mr Grigg when he was a teenager.
