A Church of England priest used the respectability of his cassock to groom and sexually abuse young boys along with his organist, a court has heard.

Father Keith Wilkie Denford breached the trust of two boys’ parents, jurors at Hove Crown Court were told.

The priest, 78, from Shoreham-by-Sea, has pleaded not guilty to four charges of indecently assaulting two boys.

Organist Michael Mytton, 68, from East Chiltington, East Sussex, has denied aiding and abetting indecent assault.
