A priest is due to go on trial later accused of historic abuse at a children's home in west London.
Father Anthony McSweeney was charged following an investigation into abuse, alleged to have taken place at Grafton Close Home in Hounslow.
The 66-year-old denies the accusations which were said to have happened in the 70s and 80s when he was a trainee priest.
At the time of his arrest he was working at St George's Church in Norwich.
The home is at the centre of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Fernbridge which is looking into claims of a paedophile ring involving several high profile people.
His co-accused, John Stingemore, died last month.
The 72-year-old was found at his home in Stonehouse Drive, St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, in January.
He had also denied the charges.
