A retired Catholic priest and a one-time close personal friend of the Attorney-General, Greg Smith, has been charged over alleged sexual abuse of four children in the 1970s and ’80s.
Father Finian Egan, 77, who maintains his innocence, arrived at Ryde police station by appointment shortly before 11am.
It is understood his legal representative was already at the station.
Mr Egan walked out of the police station and into a waiting ambulance after the charges were laid.
