Prosecutor Harry Findlay asked if Sweeney was ever specifically part of the programme. The girl replied: “Not officially. It was just because he was the chaplain that he came in.” She claimed the event was instead run by two teachers at the school. The girl also stated Sweeney helped her get a job at a deli as well as with her university application. There was then a 30 minute adjournment in the trial. Fiscal Mr Findlay returned to eventually state to the court: I formally withdraw the libel. Sheriff Cubie then allowed Sweeney, of the city s Royston, to leave the dock.
