Allegations of Abuse
in Institutions |

The Federal Court in Sydney has
overturned an earlier decision and ruled that two Catholic clergymen accused
of sexually abusing boys at a Christchurch school can be extradited to New
Zealand. New Zealand authorities had
appealed an earlier decision that it would be unjust and oppressive to
extradite Brother Rodger Moloney, who is 71, and Father Raymond Garchow, 59. The former Saint John of God order
clergymen are alledged to have sexually abused pupils in the 1970s at the
former Marylands school. Both have been fighting
extradition since their arrest in December 2003.
