The Federal Court in Sydney has ruled that two Catholic clergymen, facing child sex allegations in New Zealand, should not be extradited to face charges.
Brother Roger Maloney, 71, and priest Raymond Garchow, 58, are facing allegations dating back to the 1970s of abusing boys at the Marylands Special School in Christchurch. Brother Maloney faces 28 charges, and Fr. Garchow faces four charges.
The ABC reported a Local Court magistrate in Sydney last year ordered their extradition to New Zealand; but they asked the Federal Court to review that decision.
