Four children who were allegedly sexually abused by a Randburg Catholic priest may be subjected to further psychometric testing and interviews. The priest is accused of attempting to get into bed with four children at a Brits religious camp. The trial, due to have started in the Brits Regional Court on Monday, has been postponed until June 1 because the accused's advocate, Andrew Kerr-Phillips, claims he needs further psychometric tests done on the children. The Teddy Bear Clinic, which conducted the tests, is refusing to hand out the information either to the State or to the defence, claiming it is confidential. Jennifer Cronje, senior State advocate for the Directorate of Public Prosecutions, claims they are irrelevant to the case, but the accused's attorney has applied to the Johannesburg High Court for access to the records. - Anna Cox
