Catholic Priest Appears in Court

Rochester, New York --

A priest of the Rochester Catholic Diocese accused of sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child appeared in court Tuesday morning. Rev. Dennis Sewar pleaded not guilty to those charges.

Police arrested Father Sewar at his Henrietta home almost two weeks ago. Investigators say the abuse happened between 1999 and 2001 while Sewar was a priest at the Church of the Annunciation in Rochester.

The alleged victim, a 14-year-old boy at the time, says Father Sewar touched him inappropriately numerous times over the years.

Sewar's attorney says they will defend the charges to the end.
