More alleged victims have come forward in the case of a retired Hunter Valley Catholic priest facing indecent assault charges.

82-year-old Francis William Cable was not present in Newcastle Local Court today, when prosecutors asked for the case to be adjourned for six weeks to compile evidence, saying more victims have recently come forward.

Cable is facing more than 20 charges relating to alleged incidents in the 1960s and 1970s.

His defence asked that he be excused from attending the next court date on May 8 as he lives in the ACT.
