A man who says he was abused by an Australian Catholic priest has expressed concerns about perceived delays in the investigation.

The abuse is said to have been committed in the UK, and the Crown Office there had announced plans to extradite the man from Sydney more than a year ago.

The man making the allegations, Hugh Kennedy who lives in UK, has questioned why Father Denis Alexander remains in Australia.

“You need to get ready for the long haul because nothing really happens,” he said.

“Information is not forthcoming and you really just don’t know where, or when, or if ever, your case will come to court.”
