A RETIRED Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting four children over two decades has been charged with three more offences that allegedly occurred 10 years earlier.

Finian James Egan, 77, has been charged with indecently assaulting a girl in Leichhardt, in Sydney’s inner west, on three occasions between 1961 and 1962, Downing Centre Local Court heard yesterday.

Egan was charged in May with 17 sexual offences that allegedly occurred between 1972 and 1987 while he was a priest in Sydney and on the Central Coast. He has not entered a plea.
