James Andrew Christopher Wilson, 60, of Calstock, near Plymouth, Devon, faces six charges relating to girls under 13, following a "lengthy investigation".

Mr Wilson, from Calstock, was charged with the committing offences which span 1977 and 1978 at Pennycross, Plymouth.

He was released on police bail and will appear before Plymouth Magistrates on September 16.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sexual Offences Investigation Team on 01752 720588 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The charges are understood to relate to a period before Mr Wilson was ordained in 1982.

He has ceased practising his profession until the matter is resolved and the diocese is co-operating fully with the probe.

The inquiry is not currently linked to any others in the force area.
