A former Catholic priest has been charged over alleged sex assault of two underage boys from northern New South Wales in the 1970s and early 1980s.
The 62-year-old was charged as a result of investigation by Strike Force Glenroe, established in 2012 to investigate the alleged offences.
The charges – four counts of sexual intercourse without consent, four counts of indecent assault and one count of buggery – relate to one boy in Gunnedah in 1975, and another boy at Narrabri in 1983.
An ex officio indictment was filed with the court on Friday, and all matters have been set down for trial at Sydney District Court in April next year.
Investigations are continuing.
