A CALSTOCK clergyman is due to stand trial at Plymouth Crown Court next month, accused of sexually assaulting children when he was a Plymouth primary school teacher.

James Andrew Christopher Wilson, 61, known to parishioners as the Rev Canon Andrew Wilson, Rector and Rural Dean of Calstock, denies eleven child sex assaults alleged to have taken place more than 30 years ago, when he taught at a primary school.

Mr Wilson is accused of sexually assaulting four boys and seven girls, all under the age of 14, between 1974 and 1980.

His trial, beginning on September 13, is expected to last around six days.
