Father Edward Evans, 84, was arrested earlier this year on allegations he indecently assaulted a young girl at his home during the 1990s.

He pleaded not guilty.

But on Thursday in the ACT Magistrates Court, the prosecution announced the investigation was still open and they expected to lay further charges in the coming weeks.

Evans did not appear in court, but his lawyer argued that he didn't know anything about the fresh charges and that, in the meantime, the case should progress regardless.

A hearing on the matter has been set down for March 2014, when 17 witnesses are expected to give evidence.
