Two Catholic clergymen wanted by
police to face a number of historical sex abuse allegations against children
have been bailed by a Christchurch court. The two men arrived in New Zealand
early today after being extradited from Australia. They were bailed - subject to
conditions - at a brief hearing at Christchurch District Court. Rodger Moloney, 71, and Raymond
Garchow, 59, flew in from Sydney at about midnight. The High Court in Sydney on Monday
turned down an application by the two clergymen to appeal their extradition
order. The men are accused of various
sexual offences against boys between 1971 and 1980 at the former Maryland's
School for the intellectually disadvantaged. Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse
Trust manager Ken Clearwater says they have been working on getting the men
extradited since 2002 and are grateful they are here to now face the
allegations. |
