A FORMER chaplain has been charged with nine counts of indecent assault.

Leslie Carter, 84, was remanded in custody today (Thursday) on after appearing at Harrow Crown Court and being charged with indecent assault on a male under 14.

The charges date back to alleged assaults on three separate victims which took place from 1975-1977.

Mr Carter, an Anglican priest, started working at a school in Harrow in 1968 but now lives in Somerset.

No date for a court appearance has so far been set.
