During his time in Cambridgeshire, Fr Finbow held posts at Littlehey prison, St Joseph’s Church in St Neots and at Dogsthorpe, Peterborough.
The trial was told by the prosecution that when Fr Finbow was interviewed by police he described the allegations as nonsense and “a fabrication”.
The trial continues.
