A priest has appeared before a packed Tavua Magistrates Court this afternoon on sex-related charges.

Tavua Police Prosecution Office told FBC News, Father Nemesio Kolikoli appeared before Magistrate Samuela Qica.

Father Kolikoli is charged with one count of Rape and a count of Indecent Assault.

He asked for bail but his application was refused on the grounds of public interest generated by the case and for his personal safety.

Father Kolikoli is yet to enter a plea and has been remanded in custody until Tuesday when he will re-appear in court.
