More men have complained of alleged sexual abuse at a Victorian Catholic boarding school in the 1970s and 80s.

Police say the new information has broadened their probe into St Patrick’s College at Sale, because it implicates more former staff members in the suspected historical abuse.

An investigation began after police received a number of complaints from men who attended the boys-only college in the 1970s and 80s.

Detective Inspector Stephen Dennis says more former students, aged 9 to 16 at the time, have come forward after police issued a call for other victims.
