An 85-year-old Catholic priest has appeared before magistrates in Derby charged with sexually abusing boys in the East Midlands.
Francis Paul Cullen was extradited from Tenerife, where police said he had lived “for some time”.
He faces 27 charges relating to sexual offences against boys under the ages of 15, dating back nearly 50 years.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Derby Crown Court in September.
Derby Magistrates heard Mr Cullen was originally charged in 2000.
