A former Irish priest facing allegations of child sex abuse from the 1960s to the 1980s is due in court in London today.
72-year-old Peter Kennedy was deported from Brazil to England on St. Stephen’s Day.
He first hit the headlines in 2003 when one of his former victims was awarded €325,000 in one of the largest ever pay-outs in an Irish clerical sex abuse case.
He fled to Brazil on a British passport where he worked as an English teacher until the authorities there deported him 10 days ago.
