Father Roger Mount was rushed from his small rural parish in Sogeri to a hospital in Port Moresby, after a suspected drug overdose.

It came just hours after the elderly priest was made aware of plans to deport him to Australia.

David McNamara says he was sexually abused by Roger Mount when he lived in a St John of God facility in New South Wales in the Sixties.

Father Mount has previously denied the allegations but refused to be interview by the ABC this week.

Mr McNamara this week lodged a police complaint about the alleged abuse and is worried the Catholic priest may have molested other children while living in PNG.
