A FORMER Catholic priest, extradited from Indonesia, has denied sexually abusing children in regional South Australia.

Charles Alfred Barnett today pleaded not guilty in the District Court to two counts each of unlawful sexual intercourse and indecent assault.

The alleged victims were boys aged between 11 and 16 at the time of the offences, which date back to 1979, the court heard.

Barnett was extradited from Jakarta in April this year to face the charges.

The 68-year-old was ordered to reappear in court in December.
