A former Bradford vicar accused of raping and sexually abusing a boy has had his case management hearing adjourned until May 29.

Peter Hedge (pictured at an earlier hearing), 50, who is set to stand trial on July 10, appeared at Bradford Crown Court via a video link from custody yesterday. At the next hearing, he is expected to enter pleas to the alleged offences.

Hedge, who was vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Queensbury, is charged with ten offences involving the same boy, in the 1990s.
