FORMER Salesian College Rupertswood principal Frank Klep has been charged with raping students after alleged victims came forward.
Police have charged the former principal with 20 new offences.
The 69-year-old former priest is now facing 31 charges of sexual abuse of boys between 1974 and 1984.
He appeared at the Melbourne Magistrates Court for a brief administrative hearing this morning.
The new charges include two counts of rape of a child under the age of 14 and a child under the age of 16.
The Salesians have previously denied allegations they moved Klep to Samoa after investigations into sex assault allegations began.
