Former St John of God
brothers fighting prosecution for child sex abuse have lost their Supreme
Court bid to have charges thrown out. Bernard Kevin McGrath
and another former Catholic priest with name suppression had appealed to the
Supreme Court to overturn charges, alleging the evidence against them was too
old to allow them a fair trial, a court judgment said. However, Justices
Thomas Gault and Andrew Tipping said the men must go to trial before they
could appeal against any charges. |
