Police have laid new charges of child sexual abuse against former Catholic priest Frank Klep.
The former principal of the Salesian College Rupertswood faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court today on 31 charges.
The 69-year-old is accused of abusing 11 boys between 1974 and 1984.
He was initially facing six charges of indecent assault, which were laid in February.
The new charges include 29 counts of indecent assault and two counts of rape of a child under the age of 14, and a child under the age of 16.
