An 83-year-old Catholic priest was not present when child sex offences against him were mentioned in a Newcastle court this morning.

John Patrick Gleeson of Glenbrook is charged with eight counts of indecent assault with a child under 16 years.

Police allege he assaulted two boys in the 1960s when he was teaching at a Hamilton school.

The case was briefly mentioned in the Newcastle Local Court with his solicitor present and was adjourned to April.
