| Sixth man charged: St Stanislaus College in Bathurst. |
A Queensland priest accused of sexually assaulting a student at a Bathurst boarding school almost 20 years ago has appeared in a Sydney court.
Fifty-eight-year-old Kevin Phillips from Mackay walked into Surry Hills police station in Sydney yesterday to be questioned about abuse at Saint Stanislaus boarding school, where he worked in 1990.
He has been charged with attempting homosexual intercourse of a student by a teacher, a gross act of indecency, and supplying cannabis.
At Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court today Phillips' barrister said his client denied the allegations and would be vigorously defending the charges.
The case has been adjourned until the 23rd of June, and Phillips has been excused from attending.
His bail has been continued on the condition he makes no contact with witnesses or their families.
Phillips is the sixth man to be charged over alleged sexual abuse at the school between 1960 and 1993. All of those charged are either former teachers or former staff.
There are at least 16 alleged victims and Bathurst detectives have called on any more to come forward.
