One of Australia’s most notorious paedophiles has pleaded guilty to a series of new child sex charges.
Former Catholic priest Gerald Ridsdale has spent most of the past 20 years in prison for abusing dozens of children in western Victoria during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
He became eligible for parole this year, but police recently charged him with more offences after more victims came forward.
Ridsdale appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court to enter his guilty plea.
