A Gozitan priest accused of sexual molestation of minors has been remanded in custody.

Mr Justice Michael Mallia this morning revoked bail for Fr Jesmond Gauci after an appeal was filed by the Attorney General.

He will be held in remand until the main witnesses are heard.

The appeal hearing was heard before the courts in Malta.

Fr Gauci was arraigned before a magistrate in Gozo on August 19. A court order banning publication of his name was overturned on appeal last week.

Fr Gauci is accused of having molested three teenage girls in Gozo.
