BRIAN SPILLANE, the former school chaplain and teacher at St Stanislaus Catholic college in Bathurst facing 33 child sex charges involving five former students, was last night charged with another 60.

Charges … Spillane in 1978.

It is understood the charges relate to a further eight of Spillane's pupils from the school in the 1980s.

He was granted bail to appear in Bathurst Local Court on September 15 when the original 33 charges return to court.

Strike Force Heador, which was set up to investigate claims of sexual abuse by Spillane and two other former staff members of the school, arrested the former priest at his Riverwood home yesterday and charged him at Hurstville police station.

Police would not say what the charges were or comment further last night.
