Two Catholic clergymen accused of
historical sex abuse charges made a brief appearance in court today. Father Raymond Garchow, 59, and
Brother Rodger Maloney, 71, were flown in from Australia overnight after a
three-year battle against extradition. They showed no emotion during
their brief appearance in court, which was attended by several members of the
New Zealand media. No submissions were made by either
defence lawyer Chris McVeigh or prosecutors. The charges were not read. Moloney faces 28 charges of
abusing boys at Marylands, a Christchurch School run by the St John of God
order. Garchow faces four charges. Police allege the offences were committed
between 1971 and 1980. Judge Patrick Mahony remanded the
pair on bail with conditions. Police did not oppose bail. The judge ordered no images of the
pair be published or broadcast until a further order is made. |
