A former priest who taught in a Bendigo Catholic boarding school in the 1960s has been committed to stand trial on a series of child sex offences.
James Jennings, 79, faces multiple charges of gross indecency and indecent assault on a male child aged under 16.
The charges relate to three complainants, all students at St Vincent’s College in Bendigo in the 1960s.
Magistrate Jennifer Tregent heard from the victims now aged in their 60s, and some of Jennings’ teaching colleagues, in a two-day committal hearing that finished in Bendigo Magistrates Court yesterday.
