A priest has lost a High Court bid to stop his trial on four charges of indecently assaulting a woman when she was in her early 20s.
The assaults allegedly occurred in the early 1980s and include alleged assaults at a church where the young woman's mother was a sacristan. A formal complaint of assault was first made in May 2002.
Yesterday Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne found the priest, now in his 70s, had failed to establish that his right to a fair trial had been prejudiced on grounds of delay in making a formal complaint of assault.
