A FORMER Jesuit teacher ­accused of historical child sexual allegations at Sydney’s St Ignatius’ College Riverview is also facing child abuse charges in South Australia.

The 77-year-old teacher is due to stand trial in June over alleged historical sexual abuse at St Ignatius in Adelaide.

The former Catholic Brother is accused of sexually ­assaulting the boys in Adelaide in the early 1980s.

He previously taught at Riverview at Lane Cove from the late 1970s to the early ’80s.

The former Adelaide St ­Ignatius’ students made the ­allegations in recent years.

The student, who claimed he was abused by the teacher at Riverview in the 1980s, went to the church in 2004 but did not want to press charges.
