Priest sex attack on parishioner during Christmas Day visit to his Scots home
01.02.2022 - 19:49 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Catholic priest has been convicted of sexually assaulting a young parishioner while she visited him with her family on Christmas Day.
Martins Enegbuma carried out the attack on the victim, who is in her 20s, in a house he was living in next door to his Edinburgh church.
The 44-year-old subjected her to unwanted kisses, rubbed her foot, and ran his hands over her body.
The victim, along with her mother and another relative, had visited Enegbuma as they didn’t want him to be alone for Christmas and brought him food.
Enegbuma was living in the house beside Our Lady, Mother of the Church in the city’s Currie area.
He left the woman “distressed” after what was branded a “catalogue of sexual touching” during the family’s 45 minute stay.
Enegbuma, who is originally from Nigeria, is understood to have been the priest at the church for several months before the incident.
He went on trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday, where he denied the charge, and was found guilty by a sheriff on Tuesday.
Fiscal depute Ross Price told the court how the family had gone to wish Enegbuma a “Merry Christmas” on December 25 2020.
Mr Price said Enegbuma “instigated a campaign of sexual touching”.
The prosecutor described how the woman was “pinned in” by Enegbuma during one encounter on a staircase.
He described how Enegbuma had carried out a “gross abuse of position” and a “gross abuse of trust”.
Mr Price said the victim was “set upon in a predatory fashion” by Enegbuma who was responsible for a “catalogue of sexual touching”.
It added up, he said, to become “one horrible incident”.
Mr Price said the victim had given evidence about her “repulsion” over the priest’s actions and his “lingering wet kisses”.
The court was told the victim told her mother
